Update: I'm sorry to report that Scott Harter, founder of Velocity University, is no longer with us. If you want the details they can be found here:

I hadn't worked on this lately, but it had been something I was hoping to put together towards the end of the race season when both the participants and instructors would have more time. I believe the idea is still sound, so perhaps we'll be able to come across another way to put together a suspension training class such as this.
- End Update.
I was reading around on another forum and ran across some positive comments from students of a class provided by Velocity University, and Max McAllister from Traxxion was an instructor for at least one of them. So I looked at their website, but haven't done a much further research beyond the positive comments from a couple of students.
The class I read about was a 1 day session for $90 that taught a lot about general setup and tuning of suspension. While I'm not sure to what detail these topics are covered, from the students feedback it sounded like a great deal. Here's the thread I was reading:

On the Velocity University website (and within the above post) the organizer is accepting requests for seminars in different areas. I've read numerous posts about suspension setup, and I know some of you took advantage of having Mike Fitzgerald look at your suspensions at the PPIR trackday. How many of you would be interested in attending a class like this?
Suspension is a subject that has been on my mind for a long time. I think it would be a good idea to first seek out more feedback about the classes (I plan to poke around Google tomorrow), but if there are a number of us that are interested I think we should start emailing them and ask for a seminar in our area. I read that they limit class size to 25 people, and I'm sure we could fill a class with members from here and MRA racers...
Thoughts?

He's wanting it on a Saturday, so I'm thinking mid-July as a first date suggestion, and then the Saturdays in August that aren't race weekends as alternates. I've asked him for blackout dates that won't work for him, so I'll update this thread as we get more info.
