Even Hoosier slicks would've been warm driving from Campbell to Hwy 9.

Hey D,
This is a friend of a friend of mine too. First thing I thought was them Nascar boys don't do so well on them corners.

From the pics, it looks like the 2nd or 3rd corner on 9 south from Saratoga near the JDM gardens. It's also a 25 mph section of road.

We had a couple of S2000 incidents this Saturday evening I am still numb from the whole ordeal and Ry had chastized me for organizing the Sunday drive (I cancelled it).

its funny how people always try to show off and over speed through corners. i've seen 1 crash infront of me and 1 close call because they wanted to outrun my automatic civic.

lets keep the fast driving on a closed track.

Perfect and dry during the day, but with the fog rolling in the last couple of days, the streets have been getting a little damp in the morning and evening. One of the reasons why we didn't hit 9/35 yesterday morning after breakfast.

I ran 9 Sunday AM and it was borderline with the AM dew.

Not only that, but some turns stay WET all winter due to shade etc. People assume good weather means dry A +500HP Vette doesn't help the situation.

So, probably not insured?

Insured, but hopefully a stated policy.

Not SMOG or CARB legal was my point.
