• The parking for the party will give preference to Volvo's in the parking lot, non-Volvo's on the street.

The tint shop next to my shop will be open during the AutoX Rehab Party and will offer tinting for most volvos at $110. This will include back window, rear door windows, and 2 small rear windows. Prices will be more to add front side windows or to remove old tint etc. This is a great deal as this guy really knows what he is doing. First come, first served.

Update: Everything is still on track and it should be a great event. Dont forget to check the start times for the AutoX.... it is way early! The party will start later in the day when we are done with the AutoX. I am looking for a non driver to be the starter for the AutoX. Needs to be someone who can multi-task big time. Let me know. If you are available, I will need volunteers for the set up on friday evening and the day of the event.

Please don't forget to sign up on the AutoX thread [or contact Mark Baldwin, SacVCOA President:
http://www.sacvolvoclub.org/Home/events/event-flyer] if you can volunteer for set up this Friday evening. I am also looking for a dedicated starter for the event. The starter sets the pace of the event along with the timer. I have a great SCCA dude and his daughter for the timing team. Mark

Too bald is what you would get a ticket for if stopped (I think less than 2/32nds on 2 adjoining grooves...I will have to check). I am mostly interested in no cords/steel showing, no mismatched sizes that are not on the other side of the axle, obvious flat spots, bulges, way under inflated, etc. Mark

FYI, this is HOT off the press....thanks to some fancy footwork on Mark's part, he has been able to LOWER the entrance fee for the autox! The new price for drivers is $20, spectators are still $5.

Be sure to tell him thanks when you get there! gsellstr
