So are you hooked? Really happy to see you getting out and properly enjoying the S2000. Nothing can compare to driving the S2000 on track, its where you really get to learn the car and appreciate it

Very interesting spin. Hard to tell from the video how abrupt you were with the steering wheel and lift off. Glad everyone is ok though!

Definitely hooked. I will be more prepared next year. I plan to try and make it to at least 2 weekends next year.

Other major changes sold the Cisco cage as it will ultimately limit the track events I can do. If i get to the point where I need seats and harnesses I'll get a Hardog or rock star bar.

New radio being installed since my old one doesn't work with my new phone.

It would have been better if I just went straight and slowed down.
Glad to hear it wasn't anything major

Nothing like pulling apart a lot of your bay to realize how dirty it is. Need to get in there and clean it. Unfortunately it probably won't happen until Oct since I am traveling most of the rest of this month.

Are you going to space out the FN01R-C or get rid of them after the flares are on for good? BTW, am I right in saying I aided you in sourcing the wheels? (From Fitfreak.net)

You sure did. The wheels will remain the same just less camber. Running -3.4 in the rear right now and still rub a little.
