Ron Sutton Suspension Workshop Tour - NEW TOPIC for 2017

[fiveothis]

What an awesome presentation this past Saturday at ridetech. What he packs into 1 day of training is amazing. I still say Ron is not charging enough for these workshops, he is giving this information away!

[importnut]

I’ve attended Ron’s workshops for the past three years and I have always been impressed by the level of knowledge and ability to translate complex suspension tuning concepts to non-engineer and engineers alike. After years of reading about suspension geometry tuning, roll centers, slip angles, roll coupling, etc. I never fully understood those concepts, and how they work together, until I sat in Ron’s class and watched him visually demonstrate how everything ties together. Between his fishing bobs and string, the scale mustang or the Ford Fusion laser cut roll center/center of gravity plate, everything makes perfect sense!

Although his programs are geared towards the pro-touring group, I believe that a great deal of his presentation will work to understand suspension tuning in any car or any layout.

Finally, if for any reason his explanations are not clear, he is more than happy to clarify any questions during breaks and ensures that you fully understand.

Thanks, Ron for the great work! I look forward to attending the rest of your courses!

I went to my first of Ron's workshops at ridetech last month and it was very informative. Next time I'm at a track day or autox, I can refer to my notes and hopefully improve my driving and set up of the car.

Thanks Ron!

I was fortunate enough to make it over to Ron's workshop in Vegas during Sema last year. It was amazing! The way he presents the information, not just his vocal descriptions but how its done with the use of many visual aids, some of those being inanimate objects and other times he himself becoming the aid, all tie it together so well that literally anybody with almost any level of car knowledge can understand the concepts that many other source materials (books etc) flat out fail to explain adequately unless you are an engineer.

After learning so much during that workshop I decided I should attend the rest. So I made the long trip from Australia to ridetech in Jasper, Indiana for the first workshop of the year. It did not disappoint. It was every bit as good as the last one and for all the exact same reasons. The only difference was the topic change, though he does touch on a lot of points from the other workshops when needed so you can follow along. I found this helped a lot as it refreshed a few things which had slipped my mind and how it tied into the tuning side of things.

I would say that this current workshop is probably the best one so far. Where the others focused on understanding the concepts of suspension and steering geometry and then how to design/build your car on paper/computer so you have an adjustable, balanced race car with optimum steering/suspension geometry that is in the ballpark, this workshop teaches you how best to diagnose handling faults at the track and then which part to tune on to help remedy that fault all with the goal of making the car easier to drive and ultimately faster/quicker.

What I have outlined is a heavily abbreviated description of whats actually in the workshop, is it far more in depth and covers way more then you would expect! I left with a brain ready to explode from soaking up so much knowledge. It is quite literally impossible to describe just how much insight you get into this stuff with a short forum post.

My best advice is that if you like to learn/self improve and ultimately go faster then this workshop is a MUST!

I am currently working with Ron on my 1999 Camaro Z28 and the wealth of information that Ron brings to the table is amazing. Like most people, I am always looking for a way to improve my car and myself to get the most performance that I can. I decided to attend the RSRT workshop last year during the Las Vegas SEMA show and enjoyed every minute of the seminar. I am always trying to learn more about suspension and many times when reading books on this subject leaves me lost with using complex engineering terms. In Ron's workshop, he uses easy to understand terminology and simplifies the most complex concepts that car enthusiasts can digest at any level of experience.


If you are looking to improve the way your car handles and take it to another level, attend one of Ron's workshops, trust me you will not regret it!

Cheers,
JJ

Looking forward to this, especially now that I have which workshop locked down. Confirmed that I will be going to SEMA under my new job... so I'll be at the Vegas workshop, I'll need to see about getting my seat reserved.

[Bigbuds1]

I get a lot of out of Ron's classes this is the third year that I will be attending. For the money you can't beat it, considering the amount that you have invested in your car. It is important to invest in your knowledge base as well. Ron explains things in a very understandable way, he is able to talk on my level and helps me understand how and why my car does the things that does,and how to make improvements myself. I am relatively new to the autocross and roadracing world, what Ron has taught me has knocked seconds off my times and I have documentation to prove it. I look forward to attending his classes every year so that I may shave more time off every lap. I now understanding the shocks, hows and whys, sway bar hows and whys and understand turn in, acceleration with weight transfer. I recommend Rons classes to anybody wanting to improve their knowledge base and make faster lap times.
See you all down the road,

Now that I have a few events behind me since the Ron Sutton class in April at ridetech, I can say that I'm definitely faster and better understand the shock settings needed to make the car better.

Ron's easy to understand approach is just what I needed to know what to do considering I'm not a engineer and still fairly new to these events. I've gone every year and it's great how they build upon each other, but also easy to follow for those that missed a year.

Whether a newbie or experienced, both will enjoy the discussion on concepts and suspension setups so everyone can apply what they learned to make their car faster.

Ron,

Do you ever do any workshops local to Sacramento? I live in Roseville so I'm near you. It's just hard to get out of the state due to work and the family.

Thanks
Josh

Hi Neighbor !

Josh ... you would think I'd do these in my own backyard, but alas, we do not. I have done a lot of workshops in Sacramento, when I was in oval track racing. None for ProTouring/AutoX/Road Course. Frankly I love doing them but don't want to do a zillion each year. So Bret Voelkel (ridetech Pres) & I picked 5 areas of the country to do them that we knew would draw well. For the West Coast, we do the final workshop of the year in Las Vegas, on Wednesday of SEMA week. It's always our biggest one.

When optima held an event at Thunderhill, and it drew well, we thought we might add one the day before that event. But it turned out to be a one year only event. So no plans for a California workshop yet.

--------------------------------------------

On a different note, I hear the funniest things from guys & gals that have good intentions to attend, but haven't as of yet. They say, "You know, I need to catch your workshop one of these years." I always say we'd love to have you.

But, I think they think the workshops are the same topic. The reality is each year the content of the workshop is different. 2015 was about suspension fundamentals & how cars really work. 2016 was about mapping out your suspension geometry, optimizing it & creating a mean setup out of the box. 2017's topic is about specifically what to tune, how & when for every possible handling issue on track. My last two years of this 5-year tour (2018 & 2019) will be about different topics as well.

I definitely understand the travel, cost, time & family concerns. We all have them. But if you're hungry to step up your knowledge of how to make your car ... or any car ... handle better, get quicker & have better results ... you may want to finagle a way to attend the next ones that are near you in Las Vegas the next three years. I don't have any plans of doing them after this tour.

Best wishes !

If you are in Vegas for SEMA or are in the process or have a car you are driving and want to make it better or understand how suspensions work be sure to check out Ron's seminar. I have gone for the last few years and each year there is a different topic and something new to learn. You will end up with more information than you will ever need but end up with a greater understanding of how it all works together.
