Back from the track, and it sucked. It got closed twice bc people cant contro lthe HP they make. And on top of that only one lane was prepped, the right lane which was dedicated to slicks. Two of my runs i was on the brakes bc A- damn camaro guy had like a gazillion Hp and no tire, and B- i had to run a guy on a bike that apparently thought scratching his head was a good idea at 120mph. Just a rant, bad night altogether for me, clutch is one of those STUPID ones, so ill be at nissan in the AM, and i couldnt get back down to a 13.7 or better, pulled a couple 13.8s.

Are you talking about Troy Miceli? He charges $75 an hour for corner balance and an alignment.
