How about something on the west coast?

If I knew of any I'd share that information too... I can't pass along information that I don't have.

;)Im just jealous.

That makes two of us dvs....hard for me to understand why we don't see some events like this particularly along the central/southern portion of the left coast..

TG: Thanks for the report. A small nit: In the Da Vinci section, it says this: "
It was clear that Brian and Co-Motion's other Co-Owner, Todd Shusterman, have established.."

Shouldn't this read "Da Vinci" instead of Co-Motion?

Anyway, I still don't feel like we have heard your opinion on the Topolino wheels yet.

I wonder if I can get Mel to let me test some at ETR 2008. The stoker would choke if she knew the price, but a ride might convince her. Thanks for the links; I hadn't read the R&T article.
