DVT Practical Tech Session - Meet at Marc Roland's house at 9:30-10 AM to see, help, learn how to set up new carburetors on his TR4A. He has an entirely new linkage from the accelerator cross-bar to the carburetors. As you may know, this consists of several bars, each of which is independently adjustable. This makes setting the range and operating position of the carbutetors somewhat tricky. Then he has new carburetors which will need to be synchronized and adjusted for mixture and idle RPM. It promises to be an interesting morning! Refreshments will be served.

His address is 2427 Jenkintown Rd, Glenside It is a beige and green house. The garage is in the back. It has a steep driveway that most TRs will scrape themselves up. Parking is across the street on Linden Ave. No parking is allowed on Jenkintown Ave.

Spring MG - TR Rally - On Sunday April 20th we will be hosting the Spring TR-MG Rally. The MG club is very busy in the final preparations for their National, so they asked to switch seasons with us. We will host the Spring Rally, and they will do the Fall rally. Dan Tinsman stepped up to the plate and offered to run the rally. He is going to have about 1 month to get it all set-up. He is working on several ideas right now. You can rest assured it will be a top notch rally! The venue for the rally will be either eastern Bucks County (around New Hope), and just across the river from there in NJ.

We will meet at Pryzuski's Drive Inn on route 412 just north of rt. 611. It's just north of Ottsville , PA. They serve breakfast so come early and get some hot food! The first car will be off at 9:30, slightly earlier than the usual. The early start time is because the rally will end in a car show!

The end of the Rally will be in Kintnersville, PA at the intersection of Rt 32 and Rt 611. The show is the "Brits on the Delaware". There is a restaurant at the show.
