Great support Mark and I just know I'll be needing some brake pads
soon. After 4 years of watching Vettes grow in numbers at the tracks
this will be a treat to see that many out hunting apexs. Most I've seen
before is about 32 at R-F a couple years ago.

I hope you can make it Randy.

I just got a shipment of Z-rated pads and "01" pads in this week. The PFC Direct Drive "Rattle Free" Full Floating Rotors are in stock too.

That's a pretty exciting track... better bring a course map and study up... because most of the corners are blind... they seem to break on the top of a hill... and there's very few landmarks to guide you... and definately bring an extra set of brake pads.

Mark,

Sold the Spitfire and signed up for this track day. Now I am looking hard for another car we can set up as a track day / street car. If not you get to do an alignment on the 2000 before the event, as well as a reprogram on the compter.

Hi Steve, I look forward to seeing you guys from Lake County. Did it snow up there last week? I sure miss the white topped hills around the lake durring the winter. They sure were pretty.

Hey Larry, we are running out of weekends if we are going to tune your car. I'm really enjoying my new alignment equipment. Got an advanced training session yesterday. It is amazing. That machine will give me Camber, Caster, toe, thrust angle, Ackerman (toe out in turns), scrub radius, left & right wheel base, stagger, and offset within 15 minutes. It used to take over an hour to get all that information before.

At first I didn't think that I would use all that info, but last week I had a 1963 Lotus 19B (one of one built for Dan Gurney ) and the right rear seemed to be way off even though camber and toe was adjusted to where it was supposed to be. We were quickly able to determine that the right rear suspension was tucked in almost one inch from where it belonged by viewing cross measurement, front track, rear track and axle offsets. It seems that they had replaced bent upper and lower control arm links and someone had adjusted them in way too much. It goes to show that MSI investing $30k on a machine allows us to do a better job than what was otherwise possible.

See you soon guys.

Mark,
The hills were only light in snow but Snow Mountain area is very white. I'll be coming to see you with new tires and rims to mount and balance and do an alignment with in a couple of weeks. I have to finish the mini-tub first. Hopefully this weekend.
