Mr. Moderator was very generous to lend me a set of his track rims with R6's non-the-less on them for my track day up at Willow Springs..... I wanted them mostly for safety to stay out of the way and avoid any yahoos, yes I was out there with miatas, celicas, 350's etc..... and everyone wanted to pass the GT.... They did until I became comfortable with my knowledge of the track...... and then I let her shine :)

Thanks Rick.....

... but now I seriously need some rims for the mojave mile event...

Gentlemen,

Rick is a very quiet guy and as such, a big percentage of our membership is unaware of how much he contributes to our fraternity. The first to help out, volunteer, moderate, loan expensive stuff, who knows what else, and always smiling. I'm a bit more vocal, Rick is very quiet, but his actions speak volumes. The GT community is lucky to have Moderator Shelby #18 in the mix. Let me second Tim and say thanks for all you do Rick.

I have first hand knowledge of Shelby #18s extreme generosity. He is truly a super guy and a big contributor to the GT family.

Thank you for all for the kind words.

One of the reasons this forum is so successful is the willingness for members and vendors to help each other out. When I joined it was with this in mind, and again when I was asked to become a moderator. But overall I am just a small part of this community. Over the years I have made some good friends, and learned a lot. I will continue to help out to the best of my ability, and even though I don't post much I do read and visit the forum multiple times each day when I have internet access.

Tim, if by the time of the mile you don't have a set of rims, I just received some new skins for the ones you used and they are available if you need them.

All the best.....
Rick
