But seriously, I hope these things are available soon. The outside edges of my front tires hate me right now.

I wish it was that easy!!!!! lol Long story short – the arms are being anodized and the adjusters are still in Houston being plated. They are not ready - story of my life. Obviously I won’t have them for the TWS PDS event this weekend. Nothing that I am not used to for the last 3 years. Hopefully they will be ready for the June PDS event. I definitely have my fingers crossed. One would hope they will be ready in the next few weeks for testing.

I just got back from the tire shop – had them flipped on the rims – so I can get more life out of them since as you said – “The outside edges of my front tires hate me right now”.

BTW – once PUCK produces a new batch of kits for the fuel starvation issue, I want to come to Houston to meet you in person – Mr. Expert!!!!!!

Cheers

Dude, it is not me - it is SPL and them making time for the install/testing/alignment. I was harassing them Friday to do this once I found out everything (parts and pieces) was back in Austin at their shop. The sooner the better I say. I am willing, ready and able to do it now!!!!!!
