Sac Valley CCA trip to Ground Control
Even though it rained all day today, we still had a nice ride to Ground Control. Learned more than I'll ever need to know about shocks, struts, and things like that. Here are a few pictures to look at:

Considering it was raining, yes it was nice.
The club hasn't had many activities lately, so we're trying to get that going again. I think if it hadn't rained we would have more people show up.<br>

thanks for the pix: i stayed in SFO: too many ...
miles for me to go in the wet in my 72 tii A4. I was just about to leave at 0600 for B fast with 02 guys, and it started to pour rain here. Weather radar on TV showed that the day was not going to improve. Will catch up with you all next time, i hope. Did not want to experience the "angst" of seeing all that cool stuff at Ground Control either, lol. Would have had to get something I dont really need.
Yes, Jay was very nice & knowledgeable!
