Sure is. Today at 5:00 pm.

Mills, you need to do your homework on ceramic apex seals. they DO NOT wear out in 20k miles. You are thinking on CARBON apex seals. Another thing different about the ceramics is when (if) they break, they will destroy housings, rotors, irons, or whatever gets in their way.

DJ, I have the double pulley waiting for you. If you are coming to the meet today, I'll have it for ya. BTW, you owe me $20 bucks

I appreciate the few that decided to come out today. I hate we had to change the regular sheduled meet day this month, but I think we all would have heck to pay for doing a club meet on Mother's Day.

Thought I'd look local before buying online. I'm looking for a 82-83 12a rear rotor.
The front rotor is a C weight. So anything close to that would work.
