I did 2:07 on Chris' car, it was a stock ap1. Could've gone faster. It was my only session in the car. 3 more session and I think I can drop to 2:05.

Normal human being translation: once you dip below 2:10 you're on the right track.

It's insane how the S2000's chassis seems to move so much more naturally around the track. Wrong wheel drive in my RSX looks so awkward in comparison. Andrie, what tires were you on for that video?

Another awesome event with Blacktrax!!

Its great seeing so many S2000s out there. I will admit that traffic was bit on the heavy side and I had more close calls with the other cars then I ever had in the past 5 years but it was well worth it.

Similarly to 1st to hit sub 2 at BW on Street tires I was happy to be the 1st s2000 to hit sub 2 at Thunderhill on street tires!

Unfortunately, I didn't get a single clear lap and I was too jet lagged by the time last session rolled around. See you guys again on the track!

PS: Dear Black / Yellow racecar Prelude driver. Please check your mirrors. I saw people getting 2 wheels off to pass you and you almost took me out few times.

I heard that the driver of that car had recently acquired it, so he may not have been well acquainted with it...however all the more reason to drive in your mirrors more. I had a few very close calls with that Prelude as well, and I think there was nearly a whole session where I was convinced the car was doing nothing other than driving defensively in front of your car. I can upload the whole session if you're up for about 8-10 minutes of frustration.

the more videos the better! you're right he did recently acquire it but you cant block 5 cars behind you. that means you ARE holding people back. i almost rear ended a white TTC civic because taking turn 11 so slow. i didnt expect him to brake that much.
