      RTTH V Keisler Open House & Dinner Friday 3pm - ?

      Hi Folks,

      As Bill Howell mentioned, we are hosting the dinner event Friday along with an Open House here at Keisler Engineering. We will extend our Friday operating hours so you can take a tour through our shop and see how we design and build our transmission systems.

      We will have the Kuda with our paddle shift A-41 on a lift, and a '69 Chevelle with our T45-RS425 on display on a lift. We will make one or both of these lifts available for those of you that need to wrench for some emergency repairs!

      We look forward to seeing you all. Be safe coming down and have a great time on the Dragon! We will be video taping your drive by on the Dragon with our High Definition video equipment.

      See You Soon!

      Shafi Keisler, pres/ceo

      Thanks Shafi,
      This should be a nice touch to end the Dragon Run. We always seem to have a little carnage on the cruise so it will be nice to have a full repair shop waiting this time instead of the usual bailing wire fixes....haha
      Like Shafi said, everyone please be careful coming in and we will see everyone Friday.
      Bill

      Trailers are for BOATS!

      Screw the rain, let's have fun!

      It's actually clearing up here now. We just came from Precision Rod & Custom - one of our excellent installers/distributors in Sevierville/Pigeon Forge with a Cobra kit car w/ T-56 - no top - all fun!

      This weekend is also the Grand Run - a mega sized car show bringing in thousands of muscle cars, street rods - all kinds, so IF it does rain we won't be the only ones!

      Here is a pic of the tent being setup this morning at our shop for tomorrow's dinner and Open House.

      I had the same thing happen to me in my '65 Vette back on Power Tour. I used RainX outside and the RainX-defog inside, and it got me by.

      There are several Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone stores in the area. Try to stay off the main drag in Pigeon Forge if possible cause there will be a lot of cars cruising. There are backroads that run around the main drag - look at Mapquest/YahooMaps if you can so you can see where to shortcut the main drag traffic.

      We had a great time - thank you!!

      Hi Folks!

      All of us at Keisler Engineering had a great time having you over today. It was lots of fun - great people, awesome cars and good times!!

      The Dragon was fun too. We had 2 cameras rolling as all of you made your way back from Deals Gap, thanks to Killboyz.com. They were getting some fantastic still shots with their mombo size camera, too.

      Thanks so much for coming over today!

      Shafi Keisler and the staff of Keisler Engineering

      Shafi,
      Thanks for the hospitality on Friday. The dinner was awesome and the shop tour was a blast. Thanks for the use of your shop and lift to help our guys from Canada, that is always above and beyond and very much appreciated.
      Looking forward to talking with you more.

      Everybody in the shop here is giddy today from the event. We've spent all day loading in the video and cataloging all of the participants. It brings smiles to your face just watching all of you guys and gals running the cars. I was real surprised to see so many women at the event and behind the wheel. That was awesome.

      Man, it sure was a blast!! One of the highlights for this year, for sure!
