May 17 NCDMC Tech Session

Here's the scoop on this Saturday's Tech Session at Dietsch Werks:

We'll be meeting at 11:00 at the new Dietsch Werks facility in Santa Clara:
5191 Lafayette St, Santa Clara, CA 95054

Rob Dietsch has graciously agreed to donate his time and shop for this event!
He and other NCDMC members will be available to perform inspections
on our cars. (and thanks to DMC Houston for allowing us to use their
excellent Delorean inspection guideline and form for this event)

Here is a great opportunity for us all to get our cars in shape for next
years Las Vegas DCS. We're all driving there, right?

Ken will also be bringing his door adjustment rig, so if you have a new
set of door struts, and need a torsion bar adjustment, now is the time to
get that done.

And, time and lift availability permitting, we'll be performing an Automatic
Transmission Governor Computer extraction and repair, so you can see
what that operation is all about.

We'll be working only until 4:00 or so, so we will not be breaking for lunch.
Please bring a bag lunch. Alternatively, there is a strip mall around the
corner that has some eateries, or there is a Safeway nearby that has a
pretty good deli.

Also note that the event is intended for paid up NCDMC members only,
If you are not yet a member, here's a great opportunity to sign up.
New members are always welcome!

We'll see you there!

May 18 - The UBSCC all British Car Show and Swap Meet

As some of you may know, I'm involved with the Sacramento British car club. Once a year they put on one of the largest all British car shows in the area. This year the show has moved from Dixon to Woodland, just up hwy 80 and 113 from Vacaville, making it within easy reach of the Bay Area.

Along with spending the day talking cars, if we have at least 3 cars pre-registered, we'd then have enough cars to have our own class (and trophies). Judging of the cars is done by 'participants choice', so you don't have to worry about having a perfect car. Plus there's lots to see and we've always had a good time in the past.

More details and registration can be found at: http://www.ubscc.org/

June 12 - 14 DCS 2008 Gettysburg

The DeLorean Car Show in Gettysburg is coming this June. If you can, this will be a great show to attend. I'm going. It's a bit far, but I need to dog Ken Koncelik's heels during the event so I can take over for him at the DCS West show in Las Vegas, September 2009. And you WILL be going to DCS West. This is NOT an option! we need each and every one of you there, hopefully WITH your cars. If they're not up to the trip, we'll MAKE them up to it. And we'll need several of you to act as Captains. Really, we've got to make this happen! - Ken (M)

June 22th 2008

The Palo Alto Concours will be on Sunday, June 22nd, 7:00 am to 4:30 pm, and we are, again, being invited to bring our best cars to the corral area. In fact, they are pleased that we are returning. We still will not be on the main field because only cars from 1978 or before are allowed. Watch this space for the entry form. Again, it needs to be cars that are in good shape.

Our club contact person for this event is Ryan McCaffery.

Potluck BBQ on July 13

Mark your calendars for a potluck barbecue. We've yet to set a time and a location, but we're looking for volunteer in the San Jose area. We'll have videos from Gettysburg for your viewing pleasure. We'll need an RSVP from everyone and an idea what you'll be bringing to share.
