Title: Speaking of Air Lines...Laurinburg?
Post by: MiltonP on October 20, 2008, 03:05:02 PM
When I was last down there in June, I had a terrible time trying to find a gas station with a decent air hose to top off my tires.  I went to at least three stations and ended up loosing more air than I gained due to pumps not working or bad chucks!  Luckily, the gentleman running the VW let me use his motorhome's onboard compressor.  Does anyone know of a station there that has a decent working air line or should I top off out by 95?  Due to limited space in the Miata I prefer not to carry a compressor sinced most that work well aren't small.  Thanks

Did you ask people at the track if they had a nitrogen bottle? I have not gone racing in many years without taking a nitrogen bottle to check tires and run air tools.

most near 95 have air compresiors if some low life has not vandalized it.

Milt,  there is a Goodyear tire store at the 15/501 exit at Laurinburg.. If you need air Fri or Sat they are open.

My generator is crap, I have a portable twin take 2HP compressor but no 110 elec to run it...

Sorry...

See you at the end of the week.,....


Let's go LAND SPEED RACING......

I should be ok but was curious if I was missing someplace that had 'good air.'  Now as long as the weather co-operates.  Looking better for Sunday at this point but maybe things will change.

Nancy and I leave for Maxton tomorrow (Wednesday) at about 6AM.  We're planning to have TWO bikes to race -- our ZX14R, that ran 188 at Bonneville this summer, and the brand-new ZX15R.  Whoo-hoo, our first time with bikes at ECTA in two solid years.

We'll have a supply of Salt Talks t-shirts, and also a bunch of landracing.com shirts, so bring a couple of bucks to support the website - and get something for your money (besides the knowledge that you've helped keep this site on the air).

See you in a few days.
