Randy,

We all have to contribute our respective skills to the mission. Clarke brings 1 hand driving videos and Sly, Peter brings his warehouse, Francois and Marc bring the lattes at lunch - someone has to keep the cars on the track otherwise it would be all for not - I bring nothing sadly.

I just bought a Solo DL so at least I can lend it to Clarke at Winterfest if I can make it so Rad will accept his times

Fixed it. I did drive the truck 5000+ miles....
Even though I lose the will to live if I have to work on my car and I get exponentially more suicidal under time pressure (Cuts into drinking time), at least I earned some of the enjuneering assitance and did some of the work under his drunken expert supervision....

I can't wait for the seemingly endless supply of discounted tires to run out so they're forced to buy tires like the rest of us. Not fair

Actually, going in as a group on a tire mount/balance machine would probably be a good investment...
