Also just checked the list wow a lot more cars are signed up now!

See you at the track Chai or Anthony I guess your name is going by the list?
See you there Sean. Where are you leaving from?

I just found out the requirements for helmet is snell 2005 or newer which means I can't use my brothers 2000. I don't suppose you have an extra one Sean? I'd like to avoid the $30 dollar rental fee they charge if possible.

I hope you see this in time but snell 2000 is fine. From the website:

"The recommended helmet is the latest Snell Automobile (SA) rated helmet (currently SA2005), although we will accept any Snell rated helmet"

Off to sleep now, see you tomorrow!

What a blast! Passed some cars I didn't think I could pass, got passed by some cars I didn't think could pass me lol

Best time I managed was a 1:54.0
My car felt great out there I was running about the same times as the 3 S2000s in my group.
Definately recommend this to everyone who loves driving, I wish I did this sooner.

Couple pics







Typical pose pic lol


It was great meeting you Anthony. It was definately an amazing experience and I will have to do it again sometime.

Great meeting you too Sean, I wish my car was as track ready as yours. Still, I'm happy about how I performed with stock shocks and long lasting all season rubber. Do your rear tires still have dry goop-y rubber on them by any chance? Mine are chalk full with them because they can't wear them out as fast as the fronts. Plus now I have a weird humming noise that comes and goes but only at 65mph. Here is a picture of you blasting down the straight. I took it when I overheated and pulled over halfway through the session to let her cool down I managed a 2:06. The slowest time on the list, and 6 Seconds slower than the next slowest Miata.
And here's a picture of my overheated car...

If you zoom in and look around you can see tire marks and even track setups all around the airstrip lol

Side note: It is the same place they film Top Gear USA guest star laps and other shots.
Ken Block filmed one of his videos there as well. Anyone tracked their CU2 TSX yet? I just picked up a '12 TSX SE in Black (6 speed) the other day.
