Default Corner balancing C6 in GA

Hey guys,

Looking for a shop that can corner balance my C6 in the next week or so. I will not do business with MTI racing out of Marietta so please don't suggest them. I'd rather drive out of state if need be.


Let me know what my options are other than the above.
Thanks.

Call Sam Power at Crossroads Motorsports 770 833-9964. We are talking to him about bringing his set-up to Road Atlanta this weekend for the NASA event.

He will be at the track on Friday crewing for Tom Brooks.

Just do a search - you'll find a few examples.

Check with drivnhard (Mark), IIRC he is up in Braselton.
Don't know if he has done a C6. Other option is to drop Dave Farmer an IM. He may be able to suggest someone.

Thanks Eddie for the info. Just talked to Sam and he said he might have the scales there for Sunday which is perfect for me.

I should see you guys around lunch time Sunday then.

Over the past 10+ years, I've dealt with MTI and a bunch of other folks. After all that, I still strongly recommend Joe Aqualante and the Phoenix guys up in PA. Yeah, it can be a long trip depending on where you live, but it's well worth the drive. I normally have them reset my corners, alignment and dyno tune once per year and it's worth every dime if you are looking to get the best out of your car!

How'd you know it weighed in at 3120lbs!

Are they just passing out 3120lb slips then?

I agree w/ Fast Eddie.

Sam Power; Crossroads Motorsports has been taking care of my car for the last 2 years. His knowledge about corvettes and how to make them go fast is second to none. His shop is right in Cumming, so he is a great local connection for anything you may need to do to your car.
If you live in the Southeast and need a knowledgeable, honest, friendly mechanic to make your corvette go faster, Sam is the guy to talk to.

Interested in meeting Sam but cant seem to find website or shop info via Google. Can you point me in the right direction?

I recommend Crossroads Motorsports also. Sam is very knowledgeable, and can provide basic services all the way to trackside support and racecar rebuilding.
