Bad news, Trump won. good news, legal pot.

I would say the same if Clinton won.

I have found my new favorite road - Dunlap road, which connects the 180 and 245 east of Fresno. No cops what-so-ever and a dotted yellow line the whole way! Its a twisty beautiful mountain road with a few residential sections. I am planning to take this rather than the 99 down to visalia (adds 45 min and 30mi to go through badger, but more than worth it) once a week, so once I learn the road a bit more I will be adding markers and times.

The road condition is fairly smooth and typical mountain road surface until it turns to dirt half way through. The dirt surface does not have any rocks bigger than a lug nut and would be a great road to practice gravel rally driving uphill/north (down hill the outside of every turn is a cliff with no barrier)

Note on the 'Plmbley' wing; removing the 3rd brakelight looks awesome! Really my favorite thing about it.

Pics would be nice, I know, but just a note here.
Silver MR2
I've installed my GC/Koni struts with TTT camber plates. Matrix Garage rear tie rods and TTT front strut rods, urethane bushings throughout.
Steering rack was rebuilt with Quaife quick steer rack. I'll be taking it for an alignment later this week.
I did a "Plumbly" mod on the rear wing. I'm in the process of putting LEDs in the rear visor to act as a third brake light. I have an "Extreme Dimensions" front bumper cover for future installation.
Engine is going to be a 7AGE, currently in the shop for balancing and boring. More details later.

Parkfield grade. Looks interesting! Any idea of the road surface condition?

I am mainly putting this down as a self reminder - Parkfield Grade would be another great spot, W HW 198.

I already straightened and fixed that thing (see reply #399) and now it's back hanging off the dash. It is so wore out that it has permanently deformed into the falling-off-the-dash position. I once ordered a new blue dash mat from eBay and I received it and the stupid thing 1) wasn't cut for the glove box (so the entire mat would be ripped up every time the glove box is accessed) and 2) it did not come up and over the sides of the instrument panel nor the bottom leading edges of both side vents. It was a real pile of crap.

Need to look around for a better one eventually...

Ok I finally got screen shots of the e-Manage software in action but I am going to have a busy next 8 days preparing for our next track event (March 26 @ Springs of Willow Raceway, Palmdale, CA) so might be a bit until I get post up some more.

Regards,
