Anyone know a good race shop between South Bend IN and Talladega?
Hey everyone,
I'm starting a thread in the track forum tomorrow on this years OLOA and our exploits, but wanted to find out if anyone knows a shop really doesn't matter if they're Porsche specific, in fact the car isn't even a Porsche, but... Our rear Coilovers need to have the pressure bumped up and we ran out of nitrogen at our shop today. If anyone knows a place that might be able to do it in/near Talladega or South Bend, IN. It'd be great... I mean, it'll be annoying driving the event with the wrong gas pressures, but it's not like it'll be as bad as the year the rear sway bar came off, so... not the end of the world, but it'd be nice if we could bump them up and get some of the understeer dialed out. I suppose I should say I was asking about a race shop because I assumed they'd have the equipment to do the shock gas pressures, but if anyone knows of any shop that could do it... Thanks in advance!

I guess South Bend would be best as that way we could get it done Friday, instead of begging them to help us out on the weekend.

Many regular tire stores these days have nitrogen.

Managed to borrow the tool I need, but of the 20 tire stores I've called, not one has nitrogen... can't believe it as much as they're selling people on that BS these days.

Atlanta might be out of the way, but Franz Blam is good if you do come that far east. How about checking with Rarlyl8 (I think I spelled it right?). He's based in Huntsville, AL.

About an hour and a half west of South Bend- FallLine Motorsports has a satellite shop at Autobahn CC in Joliet. So does Eurosport. I believe they can both do shock charges on JRZ, Moton etc.
Might also check Indianapolis race shops, certainly plenty of them around there.
