Steve at Colony Tire in Norfolk. He is a friend of mine and a car guy so he is very careful. His brother Rob might even be on this board but I cant remember. If you want his number just email me.

Wheels are getting repainted.

Tires are in and are soft.

My car is at VA speed getting TFS 215 milled down to 59cc and HS roller rockers.

Previously we made 430 400 I hope i get some more out of it!

Should have the car running by Friday and will see how they hold!
