Finally got a chance to chase the one S2000 and driver I have been wanting to chase since I got my S2000. Very happy to report that I was not disappointed and got properly outpaced. Was a perfect first hand example between a stock S2000 and one with a proper track setup and two capable drivers. I was already well aware of the possible difference in performance but getting to see it when I am properly pushing was fantastic. I have a few different stages planned for this car, so very excited to see what it will be capable of in each different setup.

Is that the first left hander going down or is that airplane curve?

It is up near the top before we start going full throttle. Not sure what airplane curve is.

Whatever it is, the tag must be added to the ASS Touge Map!

Definitely not for the feint of heart. Really the only reason we drive together is because we would all be out driving by ourselves anyway. We have a nice thing going with a group that one cannot really become a member of. You just understand it and enjoy driving or you don't. Bruce Lee said it best! "Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that."

For those wondering about "airplane corner".



Probably a great place if you enjoy hang gliding.

Had new Clutch Master Cylinder installed after my mechanics noticed some minor leaking from the piston on the interior side. I didn't really notice any major problems with the clutch pedal feel before hand. But the fluid was going black very quickly. So new one was swapped in and old fluid was flushed out with some fancy pants Project µ G-four. Definitely a nice improvement in pedal feel, nice and direct again and looking forward to seeing if the fluid remains cleaner over time. Perfect for those quick clutch drop u-turns!

Thanks again to Joey and Ben for the work! Re-attaching the hardline to the master cylinder is a bit of a process.
