Thanks for the nice welcome.
I have been reading lots of old threads,i won't waste everyones time with repeat questions.Lots of good tech stuff,i think i'll do the cam/springs with the heads on the car after reading about the pen magnets.

I think your talking about Exotic rentals?They have a lot of cars now,Lambos etc...choppers..our track is unpreped except for the pro gas events,maybe get the insurance incase we have to tow the car from the track to the freeway..
Maybe i'll run into some of you passing thru hawaii someday...
