Not sure. Attrition didn't seem that bad. We counted over 120 cars started on Sunday.

Thanks for the update! This is a nice tread. I have a TAG Birel PRD for over a year...and haven't driven it yet. Good read cause I am abandoning putting it in the back of my SUV, no looking at the HF trailer.

I hear you about the passing Aaron. Generally it was very clean on the track surprisingly. Couple cars didn't check their mirrors much. The only open passing experience I have had was at one kart race. Luckily the MR2 was very small so we can get passes done, even on the curbs. And yes, autocrossing...

I understand this tread was brought back from the dead and now completely off topic... I would like to defend Toyo on the "does not work on heavy cars." I believe they do work on heavy cars. My under prepared car is 3400lbs with the driver and I have done pretty well with the Toyo's. Just ...

As some of you know, I competed in my first Lemons race at Buttonwillow in early December. I was part of Spirit of Toyota F1 v13.b6 #33. Our team concept is attached below. We basically started real late ton build a car. We formed around late September with a non running 1986Toyota MR2 non superchar...

Hi David,

Date codes are: CXJ 97V1906

I am available tomorrow for pick up.

I'll be at work 7:30 AM ~ 7:30PM in Torrance (Western and 190th) for work then in Redondo Beach afterwards. Anytime except for 11AM ~ 12PM.

My phone is six six one three seven three three zero two four.

No track miles on the tires, just show miles. The injection nipples are still on the treads.

They are old tires, so they have become harder. Located in Redondo Beach.

New price: $250!!

Have some Dunlop Direzzas used also: 255/40R17 @ $250 also. Direzzas are about 1 years old with 3 practice+championships on them.

Want these out of my garage.

Money goes back into our Lemons Fund.

Came off a MK1 MR2 that is being build for 24 Hours of Lemons.

I work for that company, I think they are working on contingency too!

We picked up a non running MR2 from a kid trying to make it to a junk drifter. Let's say he has no mechanical ability, the entire head has either loose or stripped hardware. We currently have 14" wheels that came with the car and 16" wheels off another car. Both are horrible wheel choices ...

Tom,

Are you racing the December Buttonwillow event? I'll be racing the event in an MR2, Spirit of Toyota F1 v13.b6.

We're in a dilemma of tires too. Grip vs Endurance vs Cost. Will one set last the event?

Hey Mike,

I'm available to help.

Haha, I'm already on the list. Let me see if I can get a co-driver willing to pay for half the shipping...

Nice! I plan to join if I have some credits left.

Man their ride and handling course looks alot better than my company's.

I wouldn't doubt them closing up that track, CA is expensive and I've heard they like to consolidate to one US location.

Yes they do

I had a head gasket issue with my 1997 M3. Between cylinders 5 and 6 had a very small leak. I didn't have any milkshake symptoms, but my car would overheat just slightly during the summer months. I had SouthBay Independent check it out and they pointed it was the head gasket. Be careful, I believe y...
