Valley Community College offers an FAA-approved Airframe &
Powerplant [A&P] program at the former Griffiss Air Force Base in
Rome, NY. The A&P Certificate is a 1,905-hour program that is
certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, approved by the State
University of New York, and registered with the State Education
Department. The program runs for three consecutive semesters for a total
of only 12 calendar months. Currently we are taking enrollment for the
Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 classes.
Classes are limited to 25 students so contact us early. It is a
great opportunity for anyone and is the most affordable program of its
kind. Some of the projects currently underway at the center are an F4-
Phantom restoration for the Air Force. This
program offers hands-on experience with real equipment. The A&P
program is offered exclusively at the Rome Campus, located at the corner
of Floyd Avenue and Bell Road near the Floyd Avenue entrance to Griffiss
Business Park. Check out more information at www.mvcc.edu/clipboard/aviation Chapman’s
Can Am Motorsports Park opens this weekend with a test and tune session
on Sunday afternoon, giving drivers a chance to test their go-karts
before the season gets underway the following weekend, on Friday April
16th.
March 5, 2010 All kart competitors After much consideration and research with the tire subject regarding the kart program at Can Am I have decided to implement a tire rule. The mandatory tire will be BURRIS brand only. There will be NO mandatory tire with the 820 Division. Some kart teams indicated they did not have a preference but would like a tire rule regarding special events. The negative side to this idea would be that our regular competitors that did not run Burris brand tires weekly would be forced to purchase Burris brand tires to be used only in the special events, which I did not feel practical. Most area kart tracks are Burris only. With all this being said, along with fact Burris is offering an incentive which would be beneficial to Can Am kart teams assisted with my decision. Thank you to all who have been patient. Lloyd Tech llarmon@frontiernet.net
February 9, 2010 Jr Restricted Division title
being changed to Jr Lite Division. In receiving a couple of
e-mails, I am getting the impression that some kart competitors have the
wrong idea or are receiving false information from others. The Jr Restricted Division has
been renamed Jr Lite Division for the reason that in the WKA 2010
Technical Manual it is addressed as Jr Lite Division. The race director
and I made the decision that Can Am should have the same title as the
tech manual we are using as guidelines. The only change is the title.
The rules remain the same, including the age spread 12-15; the minimal
weight 300 lbs with driver; the gold restrictor plate. Do not listen to others; if an
engine is caught without the gold restrictor plate the kart and driver
will be disqualified. If you have any further questions or concerns please e-mail them to me. Lloyd tech
