Roger Kraus in San Leandro or AIM up at Sears Point. Both can source, shave and ship to you via UPS.

Martin, you coming up here to race and want it done locally?

On track only tires, less tread squirm and better handling and usually better lap times.

Tire Rack's $15.00 a tire is a super deal. Thanks for reminding us Damon, and thanks for your Rennlist sponsorship!!!!

Slightly OT but I had Brandon align/CB my car for the track, and while he was doing that I was watching his Dad Roger hand groove a set of slicks for a vintage formula car. It was amazing to watch him work, they're really good folks there.
