Besides learning how to work faster and produce show car results by machine, the 101 Class is fast paced and a lot of fun!

These classes give you the opportunity to try out all the machines you read about everyday on the forum... the good news is all the tools are easy to use and with a little hands-on training you can create show car results your first try...

Thanks AutoGeek & Mike for doing this. My wife and I are flying in, she'll be relaxing while I'm with you. We need to get a way for a while and this is a great excuse... and I'm doing both days. Cool stuff! With the Marriott, it's possible to buy a night and get a night free.

Good to hear... it's always fun to put a face to an Avatar...

I think at this point your winning the Long Distance Award since you're flying in from San Antonio, Texas... correct?

Hi Mike,

Just signed up for both classes. Looking forward to them. Will be flying in from Connecticut. My oldest son is going to try to make it too. As soon as I find out, I'll sign him up. He'll be flying in from Vegas.
