    I've run at Marina too many times to count. The surface there is epic, however its usually not warm enough to get any heat in the tires.

    Thanks for the info! I think ive been spoiled by the ~75 second scca courses down south near SD

        Can anyone recommend an alignment shop that will align to customer specs? Just got nearly thrown out of a shop (made an appt) when I told them I had specs I wanted.... and got refused at another 3 places I called :( Watsonville, Aptos, Santa cruz area. Was hoping to get it done before Sunday

          If you can't find a place up there, when you get back down to socal, look up revolution wheels and tires. Good friend of mine. He'll do it to your requested specs and give you a print out.

                  I need some help with mi car. Any suggestions? If you want a better video I'll go take another one, but prettymuch what is happening is that once I attach my battery the dash lights come on even with the key removed. I can work all the headlights and windows as well as the blower. Once I put the key into the on position or try to crank it I can no longer work these accessories, but the dash is still half lit up.

                              I think myself and another r3ver are going to show up for a bit. Is the m62 car going to make it out?

                              I'll bring those heads for you to take lol ;)
