Ron should also be able to hook you up this equipment.

Yeah, not happy about dropping another $400 bucks but oh well. Leaving work early(in about 10 minutes), heading to Sonoma(bout a 15 minute drive), picking up the Longacre pyrometer than heading home.

Think of it as cheap insurance against mucking up those tires too quickly.

I'm trying out A6's ---- Gaetano is running R6's.... He doesn't run all that often -- in fact -- I think it's been two years since he last paraded around the track... :>)
