Upcoming Tech Session
On Sunday, August 26, Brian Wescott is volunteering his TC for a tech session on brake master cylinder replacement and general braking system inspection. In addition to replacing a leaky master cylinder, we will be discussing what to look for during braking system maintenance to keep our TCs safe and reliable. The tech session will take place at the Simmons’ garage. Breakfast refreshments will be available. If you plan to attend, please contact Steve Simmons for further details.
