We are proud to have FAT CAT MOTORSPORTS as our official sponsor.
Fat Cat will be offering following:
1) 30 min talk, never offered before, on FCM Suspension Truth - Vehicles Suspensions and Safety: What You Don't Know May Hurt You. It doesn't have to be difficult to understand how a suspension works, and what you don't know can harm you. What you DO know makes you a better consumer and safer driver, especially when you have passengers depending upon you. Shaikh is a big proponent of safety as well as performance in everything we do and what enthusiasts do to their cars. He believes every attendee to this talk will leave more enlightened and empowered than they were before. Even long-time veterans will certainly learn something new and useful, to their Miata or any other vehicle.
2) A free 2 hour FCM Suspension Workshop where technically-inclined folks could gather for a longer presentation and classroom session. This would be math intensive but still visual.
We will go over fundamental concepts of suspension design and components, how to use our FCM Suspension Design Spreadsheet to select spring rates, sway bars, bump stops and run through examples of how I would modify a suspension to get a certain behavior. This would be something I could videotape for use in our own training and marketing, plus it would give the kind of hands-on education that usually you'd pay thousands of dollars for in Formula 1 or similar classes. If participants in that workshop, they could earn a certificate of completion and be able to speak more confidently about various suspensions and how to work with them.
Attendees to this workshop would receive free shippingupon ordering an FCM Elite suspension.
3) Some fun activities like 'The Unbottomable Shock Contest' and perhaps a driving competition via Forza, Gran Turismo or another racing simulator if participants wish to bring a video game system to share.
4) Fat Cat will be raffeling a suspension based on attendance to the Texas Miata Round Up so encourage your friends and other club to join up.
