Im the guy who was trying to work out a tech day here in Ocala. A friend of mine hosts the Central Florida TDI Club gtgs a couple times a year. He has a lift and well layer out garage with tool and such. I need to talk with him and see if he would be interested in letting us use his place.

Well, the guy with the lift cannot do it because of insurance and whatnot. I will pursue some other options soon.
