so you think the strut noise could be an actual issue rather than needing a lube? i will drive out to fred beans in doylestown to get it checked. too bad i can't rely on dtown...it is so much closer...but that service manager is a serious d!ck. He'd look out the window at my car and say it's fine.
That douche backed a mirage (I think) right into the front on my Evo with me sitting in it. I've never been there since.

btw i drove on the best road around today. i used to take it to high school all the time but forgot how good it is. valley hill road in dtown to 322 towards west chester. after today i think i should stay away from that road before i get too confident. who knows this road?
Is valley hill the one that goes from 322 to boot road right by the rock quarry?

If there is on-site registration available, how early should I arrive?

Hope to see everyone on Sunday...


Ben, if I can't find an exhaust by tomorrow, you can take my spot. Just pay me for the fee (member's discount). I'll show up and sign in and everything. I'll let you know by tomorrow night. PM me your number

If any is selling or knows someone selling an exhaust, I need one badly. Got into a small fender bender today, with bumper damage and totaled exhaust. An aftermarket dp will work also, as I have someone with an exhaust for me, but the test pipe is welded on.
I putting my Greddy Ti (catback) up for sale tomorrow, might be more than you're looking to spend though.

Yeah that's the one. I used to drive on it before they painted lines in it. It is really tightnow that you really have to stick to the one side on the road. I need to stay away from there or learn the road better or autox.

Dan, I'm not familiar with it by name but I'm sure I've driven it before. Maybe I need to revisit that area...

Chu, that sucks man. Did someone rear end you? Sorry to hear you won't be able to race tomorrow. You should still stop by anyways though.

Chu sorry to hear about your car. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Pete, if you go down 30 to where wegman's is and turn left on to quarry road and go straight over boot road through the small tunnel, you're on that road.

Thats where I thought you were talking about... I'll have to revisit that road soon as I haven't been back that way in a while.
I'm actually headed down to D'ambrosio in a few to order a part. Don't like giving them my money but can't justify spending $5 to ship a $3 part, something just wrong about that. I'll tell Tom you said hi.

That's Valley Creek rd, I know that road very well. It can be fun, but you have to be very careful on several blind corners. There is one corner that is NOT wide enough for two cars, and you may not see the other car until your right in the blindspot. That corner is about a mile past the Twin Tunnels, right after a farm with a big open pasture on your right. It also gets pretty narrow as you approach 322, close guard rails/no shoulder.

I really started to miss living out there when I got the Evo. Lots of fun Evo roads.

Thats sweet on many levels. No dying in the sun while working out on course and we get to go home a little early.

I can't wait to get out there and beat on my car.
