David Vizard visit

[HarryW]

For those that grew up with home brewing engines and tuning in general I'm sure the name David Vizard ticks all the right boxes as someone you'd have on your top 10 list of people you'd invite to a dinner party.
So you can imagine my surprise and delight when talking to my Cerbera tuner Paul at Austec that they have him coming over from America in the middle of October for a weekend of talks and presentations on his works .
I'm not sure if its by invitation or by request but as a more than happy customer I'll be there . Though I'd share it with you all as it's not everyday you get to see one of your hero's.

Ok dropped my car off this morning for some fettling and enquired a bit more.
The dates are 17th & 18th October for those interested. Drop Austec a line to reserve a place so they know how many are wanting to go.

He hasn't mentioned anything to me but I'll give him a bell and ask him what the SP is. It's been a while since he was last here and we could go out for a chat and a chinese meal.

If you know him well then you may also know David Martin who is the resident engine builder at Austec too, perhaps you could make it a three some.

I met Dave Martin briefly just the once the because that's with whom DV and his daughter were staying on his trip over here last time we met up. They've been mates for a long time. DM was just on his way out to a quick draw competition at a western theme night so it was only for a few minutes but he did give me a demo of his draw speed before he left if that sort of thing floats your boat.

Tis this weekend coming, not sure how many peeps are going to be there, but I'm off on Sunday and looking forward to the quick draw competition at lunch time between pumaracing and dave martin

I've phoned DV umpteen times since your first post and not managed to reach him so I guess he's been on holiday or summat. Anyway I've got no wheels at the moment to get down there even if I wanted to so it looks like I'll miss him this trip.
