    32 door seals

    Media coverage of the event is well done by the GR organizers. As a participant there is no time for it. After a few days it’s fall into bed late, get up early and do it again. That’s if nothing breaks on the car!

    32 door seals

    32 door seals

    need my transmission rebuilt

    Mac Van Pelt for sure. I have two of his, and many on the Great Race use him. Fair and honest in my experience.
