So far, having a blast.
Pacific Raceway is lots of fun.
Have to post more info later on how to 3-wheel it when you brake a wheel in a turn.

Anybody know of someone in Seattle, on a Saturday morning, who can replace a ground off lower ball joint????
Don't want to interupt the rest of my vacation as we drive back down the coast, back to So Calif.

Paul,

Give Group2 a call - 206-378-0900. Though, not sure if they are out at the convention...

G2 is pretty busy this weekend, but they sent me to Ferrari to get a ball joint.
G2 certainly knows their way around a transaxle car.
Then, a trip and a lot of $$$$$$ to a Goodyear place by the hotel. The lower ball joint stud had welded it self to the stear knuckle so it had to be POUNDED out of its socket. Seems that is the lowest point on a Milano when then wheel suddenly breaks and leaves the car.
Walked back to the hotel to hear Wes Ingram's FI session.
The car was done before cocktails.
Now off to the Concourse and then heading south.
The replacement wheel should be in Tacoma, thanks Tony Schmidt, AJS Designs and fellow Milano(s) owner for stealing a wheel from one of his "collection".
More later, gotta go to a car show.
