JRG,

I've seen these types of weather patterns leading up to a weekend at Willow, and many times the weekend ends up being really nice. I hope you guys get some clear running up there.

JRG,

I'm afraid not. I had back surgery this morning, so I'll be taking it easy for a while. When I do come back, I'll be in LP, anyway. My new PSS9s bumped me straight into Production, so I'll try to stay as close as I can to Martin & Phil's times with my limited setup (I'll be on street tires, too).

Rich, truly sorry to hear about your back. I stretch constantly trying to avoid that scenario...
So let me see if I got this right. Knowing you have pending back surgery, in anticipation you go out and get a set of PSS-9's? You're my hero Rich.... Slippery slope indeed!

JRG,

Thanks for the thoughts...

Yes, I was determined to get some good performing shocks/springs for my car. I drove it for nearly 18 months with worn out factory shocks, and it really took away from the true pleasure of driving these cars. After the PSS9s were installed, the smile quickly returned to my face! I know Bilstein HDs & RoW M030 springs offers similar performance to the PSS9s on low settings, but I wanted the adjustability when I go to the track. Also, I have a kart so I'm plenty use to the bumps!!

Did you ever get a helmet? Have a great time this weekend?

Rich

For the longest time I thought you might have an afternoon "help" program on NBC. Then I figured out it was "McGraw"....Besides, he drives a 360 spyder....
I lived in the valley for 8 years in the 80's...
