Just got a race take-off put on by Oscar (SCer) at Sol Performance up in Loveland. Wanted to give him a serious thank you because of what a fuster cluck this whole tire business has been for us lol.
First tire didn't come in on time for me to go up last weekend like I was planning. Second, the tire was delivered after his shop was closed and the neighboring graphics shop took delivery for him like they apparently do regularly. Only problem was that they weren't open this morning when we had our appt! So Oscar showed up and he went to the trouble of not only looking through the shop for the best race take-off in my size, but opened the trailer and dug through a whole bunch of them for me as well.
Then he took the wheel off, took off the old tire, mounted/balanced the race takeoff, and put the wheel back on. All the while apologizing to me for someone else's screwup! Then he tried to undercharge me... The nerve of some people! lol
But seriously Oscar, thank you for helping me out, you saw I couldn't have made it back down to the Springs and back up to Loveland without being completely out of tread!
