Those are EXCELLENT prices!! 1010 has the 205 for $170, and the 225 for $147. I guess it's just them who are messed up.

Not that his prices don't speak for themselves already.

I recently dealt with Phil and, gotta tell ya he's a friendly, knowledgeable, fair and a great guy. Plus he's also a racer and local for me and just the kind of people I enjoy supporting/promoting.


Thanks again Phil for the good experience,
