I hope it's still on for this coming Sat.
Can someone tell me if it's OK to have my carpeting in? I have everything painted too, is that a problem?
Do we all show up at 9:00AM, or ??

If you mean the one in Springfield....yes it is still on. I called yesterday.
Carpet and such isn't a problem as long as the inspector can get to the bars. They need to check the thickness in a spot somewhere along the tube. Paitn or powder won't affect the test results.
pretty painless really.

Mike, how many cars are there going to be? Is it first come first served or by appointment??
How long does it usually take to cert a cage?
BTW, I plan to be there Sat.
Thanks, Phil Murray (overdriv)

I'll be there around 11:00 or so. Will call you before leaving to see if I should come later. B No big deal since I'm only a mile or two down the road. Brad Shoemaker

Phil, We have 25 cars coming. If we keep things flowing he said he should be able to do a car every 15-20 mins. And in hindsight I should have had a schedule but but we will make it work. This is the first time I have been on this end of one of these things. Brad, You don't even need a trailer, just drive it over

Thanks,

Just finished at certification. Just want to thank all involved. Mike Mcmasters for setting it up. Sean Bandy for finding a location. Tim Hogan for allowing us to use his facility.

It really did go awesome. Spot was perfect to use for doing it. Was great to see everyone and meet a few new people.
We actually shredded a tire on our dodge just north of the rest area on I-55. This guy walking his dog on the frontage road brought us a floor jack and helped. Turns out he works Tim Wilkerson!!
Thanks to Mike and the folks at the facility for making it happen!!

Not knowing what to expect Saturday the 3rd, I must say it seemed to go very well. It was my first certification and all went well.
I'd like to thank Mike McMasters and the people that let us use their facility.
Now if I can just get this thing together by the 31st. Cheers!
