Traveling on Hwy. 17 South (from Virginia)
- Take 17 South Bypass to Foreman Bundy Road exit 256
- Take right onto Foreman Bundy Road and go 4.7 miles to stop sign
- Take right at stop sign and then immediate left onto Lake Road
- Track is on right 2 miles
Or, map it yourself:
1099 Lake Road
Hertford, NC 27944
Phone : (252) 264-2066
I have:
A 2.5ton race jack - Portable and more than enough to get the front of your car off the ground. I use it to change my tires at the track.
Jackstands to keep it from falling on us.
A battery operated impact wrench for getting the tires off.
Metric and SAE Wrenches and Sockets.
A full set of Allen wrenches
I think the only thing I don't have is a "C" clamp to push back the caliper and allow room for the new brakepads, and I'll buy one if I have to.
So, what time tomorrow do you want to do this? I'd like to leave town by 5pm so we'd have to be done by then.

Yeah, x2
Well, with a little girl on the way, we decided it was time to get something a little more practical for driving around. After all, having 2 weiners and a little one then all all of their and our stuff, we just needed more room. I parted ways with my beloved Horace (my 02 Silverado) and our 05 Cobalt LS Sedan and purchased a 2008 Chevy Equinox LTZ package and All Wheel Drive. This thing is fully loaded, with the exception of dvd player and navigation. PLus you get to see our crappy house.

Been working all week straight I don't get more than 4-5 hours of sleep a night if I'm lucky between the AF and security...
I'm heading outside to have a Cobalt car wash right now and finish painting the trim pieces for the Sedan so I can get it to the dealership by Sat...I want to drop that car from the insurance like its hot!
