Needed ASAP: One front R1 shock in NoVA

Went to move my car today and found a puddle of oil under it. A little investigation shows that one of the R1 shocks I bought last year is blown. Got a track event in 6 days. Need a replacement ASAP, locally if possible. This is the front passenger side. Anyone? Thanks!

I got a set of touring shocks. Have your tried Fritz Flynn? He is about 2 hrs away and I'm sure he has one

Thanks, but I still have my original touring shocks as well. Just re-used the springs so it would be more of a PITA to take off all 4 corners and put the springs back on them then it would be just to replace one corner. Funny thing, I discovered the blown shock not more than 60 minutes after returning from picking up some parts from Fritz. Just my luck...

Final bump before I give up and put the touring shocks back on.
