I have the Greddy counterweight knob. I love it, but it does get kind of hot in the summer (I don't mind it in the winter). I'm thinking of getting the Works knob. Heavier than stock, but I don't think it gets as hot as hot.

I will be partying in Manayunk on "The Wall" which is at the top left of the map. You can see a red arrrow pointing to where the wall is, and I will be about at the tip of the red arrow.

If you've never been to this or seen it before, it is basically a big block party with tons of people out on the streets walking around and drinking. Good times...

Let me know if any of you guys will be in the area on Sunday....

Tim, how do you plan to get there? you going to drive or drive somewhere and take the train (R6). I have a buddy who lives on Green Lane and is having a party. Don't know if I am going yet though.

I know a girl who several years ago went to the bike race. She parked behind the Bayou in the alley. Got drunk. Got it on with some dude who drove her back to where her car was. She couldn't find it. Reported it stolen. Insurance replaced her car. Six months later she was back in manayunk looking for a parking spot when she came across her car parked in the same spot she left it. It was untouched. She got so drunk she forgot where she parked and got a new car through insurance. Pretty funny if you ask me. Gotta keep those rates high.

I had the Greddy in my VIII. Hottest shift knob I've ever had! I actually used a soft sunglass case over it so I could shift. You can actually burn yourself on it in the summer.

Good story Dan. I have a similar story I will need to tell you at an event sometime.

Send me a text or something if you are going tomorrow. I will be on Lyceum Ave which is "The Wall" I think. I always just drive in about 8:30am. I just find a spot along the street somewhere. I usually end up walking a few blocks to my party.

Levering turns into Lyceum I think.

I have never been to the polish race. I've heard some good stories about it though. I hear it is quite entertaining. Take some pics of people's rides...
