Performance Tire Shaving in VA/MD/DC area?

I'm trying to locate a local tire shop that can shave and heat cycle tires in the Northern VA/MD/DC area. Any recommendations?

The Tire Rack can heat cycle and shave a tire and UPS it to you in typically 1-2 business days

Thanks. My wife surprised me with a new set of Toyo RA-1 tires that were on my "Wish List", which arrived unshaved. Trying to find local shop to complete the preparation process on these for VIR next month.

Hey Luke, will Tirerack shave and cycle tires not purcahsed from Tirerack? I have a set of new V700s that I purchased off an individual that I need to get shaved and am also having a hard time finding a local shop to do it. Not sure itwould be real cost effective to ship them out and back again.

Radial Tire Co. shaves my race tires (that where I buy them, too) but neither I nor they heat cycle RA-1s since we both agree that they dont need to be.
Owner Paul Moorcones is not only a great guy to deal with, but a great race car driver, too.
