Some 50 people gathered on Saturday, January 10, for the club’s inaugural Tech Talk. The venue was the event room at Squire Motors’ spacious new home on Rte. 90 (aka Farwell Drive) in Rockland. The speaker was Steve Woodsum, Prof. Emeritus of History and Political Science at Southern New Hampshire University and proprietor and chief wrench at Great Northern Motor Works in Kents Hill. His presentation’s title—‘Sports Car Connections—Those are the Brakes!’—was sufficiently broad to allow Steve to tell stories about growing up in Connecticut with Bob Sharp’s racing team before segueing to an in-depth discussion of braking systems, drum & disc, and the care & feeding of vintage sports car brakes. The professor held the audience rapt for two hours, with a Q&A session, and then at 4:00 vacated the stage for a rock band. MMSCC extends great thanks and appreciation to Steve for his expertise, humor and willingness to share; and to Squire Motors for being first-class hosts.
