Well I have had 3 discussions already with Allen Lockhead, and man this guy is way smart!!!! i really really wish I could go to this class, and I was going to send my brother, but I have pretty well come to the conclusion with Allen's help, that this class is really for the DR. or PHD. of Gearheads! he was speaking with me over the phone about stuff that I was barly hanging on to WOW! so i believe since I can not attend I will just buy the materials and he told me I could attend at a later date! way cool guy!
