Air at the Dragon

Is there anywhere close to Fontana Village that has air to keep our tire presures in check? Will any vendors have an air compressor? Thanks!

I carry a little compressor I picked up at Pep Boys for like $30. I plug it in the boot socket and can reach all four tires. Came in handy today at the Auto-X where a few folks used it.

We'll have our portable air compressor that everyone can use.

Also have a complete tire plug kit if anyone needs tire repair. We plugged about 3 tires last year.

What kind of plug kit are you using, Way? I've got a Stop 'n Go brand kit I bought for my motorcycle, but it's gotten more use on my cars.

I bring a portable compressor with me that anyone can use if needed. It has it's own battery and can be used anywhere. I also have one stashed in the boot cubby at all times. There is never a shortage of such things at the Dragon, one only needs to yell at a group of people, "ANYONE GOT A COMPRESSOR I CAN USE?" and you will probably get several responses.

And don't forget to change out all that stale air with fresh before you get to the Dragon and top off the blinker fluid too!

thin air

I'll be bringing high altitude air (it's lighter) from the Colorado mountains, so if anybody wants any, let me know. Adds about 1/4 hp per wheel.
