I have seen The Man near the track on 60-130 days almost every time we've headed out there. They usually hang out under the overpass on Exit 713. They are usually in the east bound lane. Typically The Man's are very light if not non-existent between Katy and 20 miles west of Columbus. On highway 71 they are sometimes near La Grange.

This isn't gonna look good, bro.
There are several people in town that have an extra set of rims. I hate to say who, but I'm sure they will speak up.

Wish I could help, Doc.

ROB,

Somebody (Tommy Bahn) must have tires or wheels you can use.
Sorry to hear.
On the other hand, you better get resourceful after all the calling
out you have been doing for the past year. NO ONE will except
your little rim inconveniance as an excuse for not being
out on the streets full time. GET IT FIXED; FED EX, whatever.
Good luck,

MK

Rob sorry I was MIA all day yesterday. I spent most of the day on the dyno and then went to dinner with the folks and talked to them for awhile (we all hardly sit down and talk anymore LOL). I got upstairs at about 11 or so I didn't want to call you back that late. Glad to see you got taken care of!

Looks like our car just arrived after missing most of the day after our F350 blew it's trans in Louisiana. So much for tuning the car at the track, likely going to have to do it ON the track tomorrow. Hope everyone is ready to actually make some passes, I hope to see more than just 2 Porsches in the staging lines.
