The next Virginia tech session for Mazda Sportscar Club of Washington members is Wednesday evening April 21st from 6:30 to 8:45. This session will be held in the service center of Brown's Mazda Alexandria on US 1 South. There is a $5 fee per person (members and visitors) which we use to provide pizza and sodas.

Reservations are required to ensure sufficient participation to warrant keeping the service center open for us and to schedule service bay times when demand exceeds available space. Please RSVP to VaTSession@aol.com or send me a private message. Please provide your name, if you are working on your car what you intend to do, intent to use a lift or not, or just coming to observe. Due to insurance/liability requirements, membership is required to use the service bays and lifts. You may join at the event. ($25) For RX8Club.com members that join at the tech session in April, the $5 tech session fee will be waived!

MSCW tech sessions allow members to perform minor maintenance and service on their own MAZDA using the dealer's service bays and lifts. You must bring your own tools and plan on a task(s) that will take an hour or less to perform. Typical items in the past have been fluid changes, muffler replacement, some brake work, visual inspections, etc. Ever seen the underside of your RX-8? Brown's technicians and other club members will be available to offer advice. The parts department will be open and offer a discount on parts and supplies. NOTE: The dealership provides their facilities free of charge. The only income they receive is your parts department purchase. We encourage you to show your support and gratitude for their time and facilities by considering patronizing the parts department. You do not have to limit your purchases to items used that evening.

Visitors are welcome to come and observe what goes on. Brown's Mazda also has a MazdaSpeed showroom on site.

Any MSCW members on this forum (or those that want to become members at the tech session) desiring to take advantage of Brown's hospitality to work on your Mazda need to RSVP by Friday April 16th. That's the deadline to have enough RSVPs to make the event worthwhile. Still about six people shy.

The tech session is CONFIRMED! Still a couple service bays open if you send me an RSVP. If you want to RSVP just to visit and observe, that's okay, too. VaTSession@aol.com

Thanks to Carl, David, and everyone at Brown's for another great MSCW event. I had fun getting to take pictures of my 8's underbody, and everybody there was extremely helpful.

Cheers
