need help asap!! mcgard spline drive socket needed!

so as the title says i need a socket to a mcgard spline drive asap! was in the middle of a rotation when SNAP!! broke the socket trying to get the lug off....now i nursed them back on but still havent rotated and unsure on if they are really tight or not. i am going to try and weld the socket back together but i dont think it is going to work too well...if any one has the socket and would be willing to come to my place and help me out id pay for gas. i live in salinas

or if anyone knows who stocks/has them that would be awesome as well!!! i already went to 3 different local tire shops, kragen, autozone and napa. tried a 6 point 17mm and 11/16 socket and no luck. i have a track day tuesday and i really need this done before then. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

What else would help is a location - but looking at the phone number, I know I'm not in your area. Otherwise, I'd be able to help you, but it's at least two hours away.

to watch or to run?

Morning registration is 7:30-8:30

Afternoon reg is scheduled for 12 to 1, but just depends on how long morning session takes.

As far as watching.. runs start at 9 and if we do fun runs, may go as long as 5PM.
