Re: Alabama Area
Thats one city I've never been to in our great state. Heard its nice. I konw this isn't a tech thread, but I noticed you were running 1.6 ratio rockers on your car. How's the piston to valve clearance with the stock pistons ?

Re: Alabama Area
I haven't heard anyone mention Lasiter in a long time. Thats not far from where I grew up. I went there like 10 years ago. It was in ok shape then. But my mother was goin there back in the mid 1960's. Its been there a long time. But Steele is only 10 minutes from my house. I can stand on my front porch and listen to them run

Re: Alabama Area
Maybe some of us local guys can get together and drive to the track when it gets warmer. sometimes theres some good cars, and sometimes its a bunch of rice rockets and crap. they have a lot of bikes run up there though.

Re: Alabama Area

Re: Alabama Area
Hey, gonna chime in on this Alabama thread.
Anybody know of a good machine shop in the Bham metro area? Specifically, I need to get a set of thirdgen rotors turned down to hubs for my LS1 brake upgrade. Don't feel like walking in somewhere and being told "$100 to do that" - too many shops in this highly populated area wanna charge outrageous prices for simple work. I could name an exhaust shop in Pelham in particular, but I won't....!
I'll drive up to north end of Jefferson county or to Shelby county somewhere for a good shop with honest folks.
