Woohoo! People I know/get to meet. Although I understand the local prognosticators are predicting rain, I'm hoping they are wrong as usual.

Yeah, but it was a stylish spin!

The wind did suck, they need to use a heavier sand on the track there (guy I was working the corner with got a mouthful at one point). While I'm wishing, they also need to repave the lot.

I had a great time on Sunday as well. It was nice meeting you Cheif. I hope you can convince your wife to join us next season, we need more representation from the ladies!
Nathan, I'm looking forward to seeing you in STX next year. I'm not going to f-around with the ladies class anymore, so I'll be joining you there. Until yesterday I had little desire to be competitive, but somebody managed to get under my skin just enough to **** me off. So now I'm ticked and all I can think about is how great it would be to beat this person. Any and all advice is welcome.

Some people never learn, you don't **** off a woman! If I had some advice I'd give it to you, about all I can come up with (from my bike background) is look through the turns.

Place on eBay usually has the complete set for around $500 painted. I have bought from them twice and it took some time, their comminication sucks but they are selling real factory parts. Here is the link to their feedback, as you can see others have had issues but in the end I did get my parts: http://myworld.ebay.com/azpartsexpressonline

For everyone, Fuel tomorrow?

Anyone know a place in town that carries silicone vacuum hose? I tried AutoZone, Pep Boys and Parts Plus by me to no avail. When I installed the front shock tower bar on the Miata it moved the hard pipe to the brake booster enough to kink the hose, and I don't have enough of that size to fix it. Had to reuse some of the hideous yellow for now.

Chief, try KOI or NAPA. If not them. TD performance might have some too, but they're up in sharonville.

Sorry we had to run off early, had some place else to go. Good thing I turned the normal direction, otherwise I would have missed you Ashley! Please extend my apologies to your significant other, I am usually not so rude as to not introduce myself. Hope the bar works out for you.

Don't sweat it, it's all good. Sorry we were late. We would have been there sooner, but we missed a turn and it took us a while to get going in the right direction again. We should be installing the strut bar this weekend.
