Default Turbo School @ NRG tech take 2

I would like to thank Dan and Dave Z once again for a great weekend here at the shop. Once again it was a weekend filled with tons of knowledge shared by all and alot of laughs and good times. I am pretty sure Tom will throw up some pics here soon.

I will say that to anyone who has the chance to go to one of these seminars it is well worth it. Even if you have been racing forever, just being around this many people who race for a straight 48hrs you are bound to learn something. If everyone can take atleast one thing away from going to one of these seminars it is worth it. If it is in your area make sure you get to one and have a good time. To all the people who missed the one here, well, you missed another great weekend. I am 100% sure that there will be another towards the end of the year here at the shop so please get in touch with Dan for the scheduling and clear your calendar.

I think I will be making the trip to a few of these others seminars to enjoy the good times.

Thanks again to Dan and Dave and everyone at Nrgtech for hosting another Turboschool.com class. I had a really great time at the shop talking and reviewing information/experiences. There was alot of information in the last class I attendend and even more information in this one that went into deep detail.

To anyone even thinking about attending the class, do it. Theres lot of "misinformation" out there and alot of people that "think they know" what they are talking about and in this class answers are proved both right and wrong. Dan and Dave have a great wealth of knowledge of what works and don't work not just "he say/hear say" . Like Miller stated above whether you have been racing for 50 years or 2 months you will take something away from this class. I personally think its a must for people starting out in the game, it will definatly steer you in the right direction moving forward.

plus its a party all weekend.


again sorry guys i had to leave on such short notice, but be sure i will be seeing you guys in the future. thanks again

I had a good time as well. Learned some new things as well as reinforcement of things I thought were true but needed some clarification. The whole crew there had some good information and conversations as well.


Also the Fabrication shop at NRG is very nice as well. I would have to say anyone looking to get fab work done should really check them out.

Whats up Jenny? Good to see you again.

Those are all great people from the OE side of things and will provide very good knowledge about turbochargers. If anyone has a chance to catch a seminar I would highly recommend going. They need more time than an hour to cover so much ground from 3 experts and 3 companies though. We have 2 and a half days and we are looking for more.

Dave Z. and I cover a bit more race, race day and other hands on type of things from a racers stand point than the manufacturer. Plus we are not bound by the same laws as far as what we can and can't say.

Do you remember any of the topics?

There is a lot to be learned from both thats for sure.
