I'm not sure I'll have time to take the roller anywhere but my house and Gregs. I will only have it a week...with most people using it on the weekend.
I'll save the roller until July if you Paypal me $300

They just moved the first autox from ford down to River Downs...bleh
I noticed several were switched to Riverdowns with the rest of them listed as tentative
Sounds like they are having problems all of the sudden getting the Ford lot. I'd rather go to Riverdowns than Ky Speedway though. At least Riverdowns is only a 5 minute drive for me

I've heard good things about the Columbus region. It's not worth the drive to me though. If I'm going to drive an hour or two it would be for a Cen-Div, Pro Solo, or Nat. Tour race.
I'm wondering if the Cincy region is even going to host a Cen-Div event now?

Yep. As of Feb 15th. They are still around in a way but not as a public business. They are going to concentrate more on Forgeline now but they'll still be carrying parts and racing. They are reducing the tires they sell to Toyo and Hoosier though. They are looking to expand their Forgeline wheel offerings. I think it's a good thing for Forgeline.

Yeah. They still have the entire shop and still carry parts. The shop is just being used to expand the Forgeline business basically.
I'll be going up there again Monday to pick up my rear wheels and spacers and check fitment again.

What do these venues expect? There is always the risk of accidents. My wreck at Riverdowns didn't seem to cause any issues. I took out the horse track fence and did 10k in damage to my car
I wonder where they are looking to move them to. This will also effect Cincy getting a Cen-Div. event. I see that there are still 2 dates that are open for the Cin-Div series. I'm sure one of them was supposed to be Cincy.

Anybody have any problems with running a test pipe (ie, cops)? My RNR 3" HFC has bit the dust and throwing a CEL (catalyst insufficiency). I am thinking about running UR and a shell but I was ondering if anyone has ever got checked with a sniffer.

I dunno I guess it was pretty bad and the cops had to show up and all that jazz.. But I"m just hearing this and you know how stories get twisted.

Do they still test in Ohio? They don't down here in KY. When they did I'd just put on the HFC, warm it up and get my test done, then take it back off when I got home.

Thanks for your reply. All the research I have seen so far seems to point out other states as being pretty strict like NJ and California but not Ohio. However, all it takes is one cop. I would rather open the exhaust up a little bit more. My dads friend could weld me a shell on. It would be cheaper than the RRE rally cat but it is resonated which might help a bit. I am going to research some more but any more experiences would help.
