Hello from Ontario, CA

Hello from Ontario, CA

Saturday  evening,  November 15, 2014   (First post of this travelogue)

I have traveled to Ontario to teach a Mechanical Drives and
Shaft Alignment class.  This is what is
called a “regional” class where folks from various companies attend the class
in a hotel.  NTT also offers “On Site”
classes where we teach at the customers business location.

This class was held at the Holiday Inn Express (here).  The class only
had four students, but that made for a great group. 

I had NTT make plane reservations so that I could stay over
Saturday and attend one day of the National Drag Racing event in Pomona.  When I was the “Blower Belt guy” at Gates, I
attended quite a few races at this rather historic track.  I had hoped to see several old friends, but
the pits were very hectic.  I did get to
briefly say hi to a good friend who is also a major Gates customer.

Friday after class, I decided to visit the NHRA museum.  It is not a huge museum, but they have a significant
number of historic race cars.  Many of
those cars were racing when I first got interested in drag racing (over 50
years ago).  Lots of fun memories.

The weather has been pretty decent – mostly 70s during the
day.  Unfortunately, I left Pat in the
middle of a record setting cold spell in Denver.

Tomorrow I catch a very early flight (6:05 AM) back to
Denver.

That is all for this trip.
