Volvo Independent Tech Session and Lunch (As seen on page __ in __/__ 2011 Rolling, Vol. 29, No. _)
The Sacramento Chapter’s third annual tech session hosted by Peter Mausolff at his Independent Volvo shop, on Saturday, March 26th, was a great success. Volvo's represented included three 240's, a 740, a 850, a 850R, and a V70. Peter's shop is located in Rancho Cordova, California, just east of the State Capital of Sacramento. A little rain in the morning didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the group. Several cars made it onto the lift, with many questions answered and some problems solved. Several new faces were in attendance thanks to Gary Sellstrom bringing the Turbo Bricks crew. After the tech session ended, we headed to a local Chinese restaurant where we enjoyed an excellent lunch.

BE MANDATORY TECH
INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING THE AUTO-X
COURSE.
-Tech will follow basic SCCA guidelines such as secured
battery, no

(cameras, tools, etc.) ,
car in general good working
condition, etc.
-Track layout will be more technical than speed
due to lot size (90,000 sq.ft.).
-We need numerous volunteers to make this work.
Cone retrieval experts especially needed.
-The event is based on giving all proceeds to
charity.
Volunteers are needed. Please e-mail Mark Baldwin, SacVCOA President,

A Note from Mark Baldwin about the (Sacramento) Davis AutocrossI will be the event marshall and run the drivers meeting. I have a
deputy working the gate to check that participants have paid and signed
waiver prior to entering the track area. I have three independent tech
inspectors already volunteering (Peter, Jacob, and Nick from Volvo
Independent).
Will need volunteers at sign in table to collect money,
have waivers signed, and stamp hands, etc. Will need timers also.
I am splitting the drivers into two groups. The first group will
be driving while the second group works the track (flaggers, and cone
pick-up). This will switch when the first group finishes their runs.
If you have questions or are interested in volunteering, please e-mail Mark Baldwin.
From looking around the forums, there is also the possibility of:
-Official 1st Annual Davis Autox Rehab BBQ:
http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?p=3748611
"Yup, that's right...it's official.
Mark Baldwin has generously offered up his shop for a BBQ, car wash, etc. following the autox on May 14th.
He also has a lift, tools, etc. for light repairs (no tranny swaps
obviously), he'll have a grille, DJ setup for some tunes, a big parking
lot, and access to water for washing your car up prior to the show on
sunday.
You can bring something to throw on the grille or some cash to put into
the fund. I'll probably try for a trip to Costco after the autox to pick
up stuff Mark doesn't have, kinda like I did last year at the park.
He has given the okay for some brew but please keep it moderate...we don't need any drunk's or DUI's while leaving his place.
His shop is over near Executive Airport, so half-way between Davis and Mather.

The formal addy is 6388 Freeport Blvd.
