Calling Arthur Grant

Does anyone have a phone number for Arthur?

George, the numbers you gave me yesterday did not work. One was a wrong number, and one was disconnected.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Jonathan,

I've had something come up (work related) and will have to cancel my practice entry. If you could shred the check, it would be appreciated.

Re: Anyone know which of these body shops are best?

Bill,

I have (unfortunately) had to use Mission Viejo Auto Collision twice...my BMW, and my Ford Pickup.

They were awesome! Professional, on time, communicative....real pros.

The guy I dealt with both times was Frank Elo. He's been there for years.

No qualms about recommending this place at all.

Re: May 22nd Autocross Sunday Registration Open

Hey Rick!!

It still won't let me register as car # 48. It is not an option in the drop down menu. In the description of the car, it includes the #48, but won't accept the car number in the number field.

Sorry to be such a "GRA".

I registered for the championship, but it didn't let me enter my current number (48). I changed numbers for this year, having had 422 last year. I used my old number to register, because it wouldn't let me enter without a number. Don't know who I tell this tale of woe to, but someone with magical po...

I'll ask a question here. I have been using stock GM pads on my 2002 Z06. I have asked several people, and they said that for autocross, they work great. I used to drive my car on the street occasionally, but now I just seem to autocross it. Is there a better pad that I should be using? I guess I do...

Re: Other than San Diego, El Toro, and Fontana.....

All great info and appreciated.

Any other suggestions?

I checked the Vette club's website, and they have three autocrosses this year at the local college.

I'll start investigating the others.

Much thanks.

Where do they Autocross in other parts of California?

Is there anything organized for regular events in Central California? How about Northern California? I have a friend who lives in San Luis Obispo.....any options for him?

Bill,

I have been dealing with Toyota of Orange (not one of your choices) for over 20 years, bought several cars from them, have cars serviced by them, etc.

They have always been first class to me, both on the sales and service side.
