SEMINARS
Special Event in West Springfield, MA Saturday, March 1.
SpeedEXPO
is a gathering of pavement oval track racers and anyone else
interested in racing in the Northeast. They asked me to present
a short seminar on tires and how they work on a car. About 60
people showed up for my talk including about a dozen drivers.
As usual they were surprised at how much they had to learn about
tires. Racers gather experience using tires but they don't know
why they work like they do. It's always fun to since some light
on such a complex topic.
TIRES & MORE: The seminars at Morse Measurements were
a great success.
Morse Measurements specializes in Kinematic and Compliance
testing. They asked me to be available Tuesday through Thursday,
Sept 25-27, 2007 and present a series of 2-hour seminars. We
offered one free public seminar on Tuesday, September 25 at 9
am. and seven free events exclusive to specific organizations
by reservation only. About 30 people showed up for the open seminar
and several racing organizations booked private time slots. This
was an experienced group of people. They asked some good questions
and I had some answers. The general feedback was they learned
a lot about tires and how they work on a car.
What We Covered in the Morse Seminars
Tire Mechanics: Rubber Friction, Surface Effects, Load
Sensitivity, Myths and Popular Misconceptions.
Vehicle Dynamics: Load Transfer Timing, Balance (Reality
vs. What the Driver Feels, Trade-offs, Rig Testing.

Read the event reports. Seminar content continues to expand
