Subject:Hollister Hills Syncro Testing

We are still trying to figure out the best time to do the
syncro suspension testing at Hollister Hills
state off-road vehicle park in central california.
(http://www.hollisterhills.com/parkinfo.html)

Peter Buettner is waiting to get the airsusprnsion for the
rear springs and we may also be able to get a prototype set
of rear syncro springs as Mark has dropped off a rear spring
at Betts, but we don't know yet whether it will be possible
to get a prototype set for testing before they do the
production run.

It is also still up in the air as to whether we make this a
weekend campout or just a one day event.  I think making it
a weekend would make it much more enjoyable.  We could do a
lot more testing and trail riding, and have time to even
swap out springs if we get the Betts prototype.   The park
has a special camparea on the upper ranch that can be
reserved for a group, and it's cheap.  There are even
showers at the lower ranch (the motorcycle area).  The place
is huge and scenic with some great views.  I have never been
to the upper rance area, though, only the lower ranch.

Anyway, we should have proposed dates soon.  I suspect it
will happen in March.  E-mail me if interested, and if you
have not already.
