Default Keith Craft Open House set for March 11/12th

We are having our 25 year anniversary open house March 11 and 12th. We will have food and drinks for Saturday. We will have all our machines set up with the following things being machined: block CNC probing and machining, cylinder head CNC machining, engine testing on the dyno, head flowed on the flow bench and block honing.
We will also be showing camshaft degreeing along with some other engine and head build information. We plan on having a couple of seminiars including Comp Cams with some information on camshafts as well as their new fuel injection set ups.
Hope to have customers here with some of their cars as well as some engine builds that willl be on display. Maybe we will have 427 SOHC engine or parts to talk about as well. So if you would like to learn a little more about what goes into doing engines and head work as well as see some nice machinery working along with some nice parts plan on attending.
We hope to get some sort of head count so if you could e-mail us at keithc@iocc.com to let us know if you are coming or a group together we would appreciate it.

Thanks, Keith Craft

I forgot to give details on the closest airport. You would fly into Little Rock, AR. We are about a hour and fifteen minutes from the airport. We have several Motels/Hotels about 15 minutes from the shop in Caddo Valley, AR. There are several rental cars places at the airport as well.
Hot Springs, AR is about 30 minutes from us if anyone would like to stay there. It is more of a resort area. Our complete address is Keith Craft Performance Engines, 3157 Highway 26 West, Arkadelphia, AR, 71923. Feel free to call us at 870-246-7460.

Thanks, Keith

Some of our vendors are donating some door prizes and I know for sure that Comp Cams will have a couple of guys here that weekend. Hopefully, the FAST man will be here, too, from Comp. The Brodix guys will be here as well. The food will be good! Maybe some catered BBQ?

Keith,
Time is sneaking up on your March 11,12 open house. Do you have an agenda for the open house so that some of use coming on Saturday could plan a cruise down and know when to arrive?

I'd love to fly down, but I doubt that I could get the engine, I want, into my carry-on luggage ;-)

We plan on having things open from 10:00 to about 4:00 both days. Will be mostly looking at the shop and me sowing guys around and talking about how things work. Will have some an engine on the dyno, blocks being machined as well as some heads being CNC machined. Probably flow a head on the flow bench as well to show how it works and such.
Saturday plan on having some folks here from Comp Cams and Fast EFI to talk about there products and to asnwer questions about camshafts and fuel injection. Do not really have anything in concrete just trying to show what all goes into this stuff these days.

Thanks, Keith Craft
