What happens when we get stuck behind a slow driver?
we always hit some traffic, luckily we have had a lot of clear runs but you never know

Smaller groups than 10, we've never passed anyone in the history of these events!
Keep in mind, its not a race, we're not on a track, laws still apply. The goal is going out to have fun with others and enjoy our cars and what they can do. The s2000 at 6/10ths is still fun and quite illegal, if you're driving at 9/10ths, you're doing it wrong and jeopardize not only yourself but others too.
If you are coming to race, don't. There are track days for that.
There will be two+ groups at the start, one quite spirited and one with a bit more gusto than that. Be sure to choose wisely. I've personally ridden in both and felt comfort in both. If you at anytime feel uncomfortable at the speed, slow down. Nobody will think less of you for using your head. We've had guys flat out admit they couldn't handle it, slow down, and we waited for them at the next turn. The leaders of the groups are responsible and will wait for everyone at each turn, you shouldn't get left behind.
Not trying to be a killjoy here.
The only time you're under the speed limit is approaching stop signs, in a small town, or if Corey runs up on the back of a State Trooper. <- yep, it happened. The pace is quick, just under stupid...but safety is still the main priority.

3% chance of rain, slight fog in the morning (should burn off by the time we get there) with a high of 82. 75% humidity that looks to be tapering off as the day goes on to about 25%. Slight breeze between 5-10 mph. So in short, it should be a gorgeous day.

Tire pressure, check. Oil level, checked. Fluids, checked. Tries and brakes look good, only thing now is to wake up, meet up and have some S2000 fun!
