Default Pics from lift session at Dr John's Motorsports (bandwidth warning)

Thanks to everyone Dr John's Motorsports and Marc Nguyen for setting up another great lift session. Lots of people getting their tech inspection for the Frank Beddor Nationals at Summit Point coming up in the next few weeks.
I didn't do anything to my car this time around, but I did end up helping BLULYNR with the installation of his A8 brake upgrade and putting in AP551 brake fluid. It was easier than I thought it would be. I guess this is another mod I need to add to the list. The use of the lift wasn't absolutely necessary for this work, but it really made things alot easier. Here are a few pics of the installation.

And the finished product. Note the two tone brakes. It actually looked pretty good.

Unfortunately the car did not pass the Tech Inspection for the track. That pesky control arm issue reared it's ugly head.

Here are some of the other cars using the lifts.

Here are some of the other cars that showed up. A few notables were two Quattro Coupes, two GTI 337s, and an SLK 32 AMG (Michael TT's other car).

The interior of the 337

And finally...
How many ACCNA members does it take to change the oil on an ALMS TT?

Again, thanks to Dr John's Motorsports for allowing us to use their facility and tools. If anyone needs work done to their car look into going to Dr John's Motorsports in Sterling, VA. Gotta show some love for the Potomac-Chesapeake ACCNA sponsors!

Default On a sad side note.....

This is probably the last few pics of BLULYNR's car before some dipsh#$s vandellized his car and did some body damage. They tried to break the windows, but they would not shatter due to tint so they took out the rest of their aggression on the body panles. NO RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!

Default Maybe it'll be faster, the dents will act like dimples on a golf ball.

grrrrrr, I'm out for blood, wait for cops to call back. I'll post updates as soon as I know anything.
