Subject:Re: Syncro Race at Hollister?

The one certain thing about any community is when there is great diversity in
it's membership, things don't always run smoothly. There will be personal
differences between fellow members.

However, I would not let that stop me from meeting with other fellow members
when the proper opportunity arises.

I am contemplating a visit to Hollister but have to evaluate my resources.
I'm trying to decide if my 16" Syncro is ready for anything more than JUST
GETTING THERE. I have not done much work to it and it does not present well.
I am trying to get it ready for Bug-O-Rama in Sacramento on the following
weekend. Frankly, I am a little bit nervous that I may get carried away in
Hollister and break the darn thing before Sacramento.

If you've seen John's Syncro, you can plainly see that it's a different
animal. It's about 4 inches taller than my bone stock 16" Syncro and most of
the offending front & rear bumpers have been hacked off. He has a
Wasserleaker whilst I have a 1.6 turbodiesel. I guess what I'm trying to say
it's it won't be a fair fight. He has new shocks while mine are half rusted
leaking 14" Syncro units. But what the heck it John is up to it, I'll take a
run from HIS SHOP to Hollister and back. No trailers allowed.

Wait next year when I've had more time to prepare. I'll bet I get my List
Sticker affixed to it by then.
