Tiresmoker, did you read the whining about the new ST pax's. Soft, soft, soft. Getting lots of whining over on the NORA forum.

That's funny. I thoght they just adjusted them up a bit from last year.

Top end ST tires are just getting way, way better and are almost as good as cheap comps.

Yes, soft, easy. The pax is not adjusting to the better tires and the STs are moving the times in front of most of the others in pax times.

Brian and I had talked about this.

Racing by PAX has always been impossible, IMHO. Easier to beat a system then another driver.

Hmmm, I'll have to hop over there and check it out.

I guess what it all really boils down to is people feel they have the right, and the need, to bitch about everything. If people are getting outclassed by the tires, get better tires, or drive better.

So removing the stock nav system is a bitch. I don't know what moron designed that **** but it is retarded. Why would you run the connection from the dvd to the screen through the roof and a pillar? wtf...anywho...as TJ can attest...I sliced my thumb while WORKING on his car. No more car work for me for a while.

CHECK THE NORA FORUM BEFORE HEADING TO EASTLAKE TOMORROW!!!

I was just informed by Mark Domo that Eastlake has triple booked the lot for tomorrow (5k race, farmers market, autocross)

There is potential that the autocross will be held at Northfield tomorrow. So be sure to check the NORA froum before heading out.

This has been a friendly public service announcement

Oh crap. Now I may have to go instead of being productive.

You probably shoulda used some bold or bigger letters or something rather than just slipping that public announcement in...

So the link that Brian posted got deleted. But by way of Mr Domo the NORA autox has been moved officially to Northfield.

It's official. The AutoX is at Northfield tomorrow due the the farmers market taking up much of the Eastlake lot.

Steve: I'm going to drop that pipe off with you tomorrow. I'll also have your paperwork. What time do you want me to stop by the shop?

And yes, you can have it for as long as you want.

WOW... I forgot his name (I thought it was Kevin).
Yeah, he was a cool guy.
Did he mention why he dropped off the radar?
Last time he posted here was when he was interested in my mid-pipe.

Basically said he just doesn't have the interest. I told him he should come out with us sometime though and hang out. He said he would check in. *shrug* Also talked to Kilian about your xbox...you should have an email.

Might have been me. my car looks black depending on the lighting. i typically do not park near anyone. partially of course so that i dont get dinged but i also like to park further away from where i am going simply because i like to walk. Figure the old, decrepit and / or handicapped can park closer.. they need the convenience.
