I need to ask a favor from this thread... I had new rubber mounted to my old x-lites yesterday. I got home and one of the tires was already flat...
Seems the rim developed a crack while the tire was mounted as the old run flats that came off were fully inflated. I am heading over to the tire shop now but I am not hopeful for a good outcome. Anybody out there with an x-lite they would like to sell (cheap)?Thanks!

On Saturday after racing around the track all day we could do dinner at The Corvette Diner in Hillcrest.
Getting table space at the diner is no problem but parking could be a little tougher. There is a valet lot next door and the only other option is street parking. This could be tough because there are a lot of restaraunts and bars in the area so there would be little chance of everyone parking together. I have the name and number of the guy that runs the lot and I can try to talk to him about parking there but I'd need to know how many cars would be showing up.
More about The Corvette Diner:
A 50's style diner themed around the corvette with a live DJ, a bar and a staff that dresses in poodle skirts and the like. It's always a good time with the occasional singing and dancing by the staff and some other goodies that I won't spoil for you in case you make there.

UPDATE:
I'll need to know as soon as possible if you will be coming for sure so I can try to arrange parking for whoever drives and so I can let the restaraunt know how many people to expect.

Most likely in an un-marked tent. Look for happy people waving at MINIs!
