  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Went out today with the GSX it was funny driving, and funny noise, if anyone in Flint finds a shock bolt in a puddle or a pothole, it's mine! Fortunately Underdog 350, Steve has a forever warranty on the restoration and had one already to go this afternoon. Cleaned and painted so tomorrow morning project. See you all Friday Morning Be safe and go fast with class.
