DC to AC Inverter Help

I have an Exeltech inverter in my work van, dual channel 2KW. It really hasn't worked for years. So I thought I should get it fixed. HA I can't find a place that even knows what an inverter is. Some marine places know but they only deal with boats. And no one, no one, knows where I can get one repai...

Re: Cal Club grid process could use tweaking...

My only time as an event chair I really pushed to have a nationals style grid. I love how that works for all the above stated reasons. But the person designated to lay it out didn't show up in time.

Re: Nice course today, Tom Berry!

Loved the course. Kicked my arse but felt like I was flying the entire time. But do have to agree, not so much love for the finish. A woohoo finish would have made it a classic.

Still had a ton of fun.
