We will be starting 2014 annual tech inspections as soon as people have there cars ready.
This year we will be doing the inspections the same as last year. People that are not close to the city don’t hesitate to call or email us. We are willing to travel.
For the drivers in NB we Will also come to you to tech your cars. If a few of you could get together that would be even better.
Please have your cars in race trim with all decals and numbers attached and all safety gear ready and valid for the current year ( seat belts ), as well as personal safety gear.
