    How many Central Valley members do we have?

    Okay, we have a Central California section. How many FFR owners are in the area? I'm thinking between Stockton and Bakersfield north/south and between the two mountain ranges east/west.

    Post a reply and lets get a head count.

    I'll start. We live in Madera and own a MK-II Roadster

    I'm not getting gray, I'm adding chrome....

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    According to Google map. Center of Central Valley is Salida. Central valley is Bakersfield to Redding 450 miles long 50 to 60 miles wide. So, Stockton is included.

    Wow, Sorry Ron, how did I forget to add you? I think I've talked to you more than anyone else in the area.

    I've got a Roadster coming in April to Oakdale and attending build school in two weeks. Hope to have another Roadster completed by end of year, or at least enough to go for registration in Jan 2013.
