Chassis and suspension seminars in Texas! Dave Morgan has been touring the country, giving evening-time seminars and it’s apparent that the evening timeframe is not popular. In an effort to help drag racers during the racing season, Dave has developed new lesson plans and schedules.
It all begins in Texas.
