Yup. ordered tires around 1pm and had them off-loaded next day. They are pretty quick.

By the way - I'll be down at Laguna, but not sure where I'll park as I'll be with my buddy who is pulling a trailer, but at least I'll stop by to chat with ya'll. Oh yea - Car 7, both days

Yeah, I was in the computer lab writing my Pascal assignment on the VAX during the Loma Prieta quake.

Of course, Loma Prieta is in the news again because now it's on fire...

I mean, 5 posts since 2012 and you expect a reply? But stranger things have happened. Sounds like he's maybe got an NA?

If you're local you should come out to the track and meet up with the group.

Maybe he wants to meet up at the DMV in Seaside so he can chat with us while he stands in line to renew his registration? I'm pretty sure they're closed on the weekend though.

I don't think any of us want to go to the DMV unless we have to.

As far as DMVs go, the one in Seaside is probably the best in Monterey county

...but that is like saying that herpes is the "best" STD when compared to say, chlamydia or gonorrhea.

If I had to guess I'd say it'll sprinkle enough to make you question putting on a jacket, but then you'll regret not doing it when you and your gear are damp and sticky. It'll make the track just damp enough to make you nervous. We've had zero rain in the last 9 months so I would be stunned if it was more than that.

BUT

Stranger things have happened. As the Boy Scouts say, Be Prepared.

It's gonna be so much fun watching you all figure skating all over the track.

Just wet enough to kill you.
Just dry enough not to wash away the blood.
