with 22 members in the hawaii region, i dont see any s2000's at the track.
SCCA, 1/4 Mile, Lapping Sessions........
i know colin use to scca, but what about the rest?
it would be nice to see more out there. the suby guys all go out to tracks together, i think thats so cool.....
after all this is a car that was designed to be driven right?

I feel I've accomplished what I wanted to do at the track. I have three consecutive A Stock points titles, and two consecutive Runoff titles. Fran's spin towards the end of 2001 dampend her enthusiasm for racing at HRP, though a return to autox (at a suitable location) is not out of the question for her. I see from the results that someone took an S2000 to autox in Dec. Practice makes perfect, and tires help tremendously, but it should be noted that the last time I was out there, I was 4 seconds faster than Jayson in his M3, and 7th out of 60 in raw times. See here
So MKH, old men and ricers don't own me!

Silvers808, I won't track my car at Hawaii Raceway Park because of the dangers Fran ran into. If they had a safer track like say at Barber's Point, then I would be interested. As for 1/4 mile racing, I don't feel the need to dump my clutch at 6000+ rpm. I would be interested in watching others at the 1/4 mile strip though as I'm curious to what times they're getting.

Sorry about calling that guy an idiot but he had it coming to him. I really don't care what he has to say as it holds no value what so ever. I get this here as well. A lot of snobby teens wanting to race and getting upset when you do beat their civic or whatever and then they try and run you off the road.
Its ok though I am used to it and so are some of the other members.
I am not going to post as much anymore as these forums IMO are going down hill. I will still help members as I get several PMs a day regarding help with wheels and lowering.
I hope you had a safe holiday.
Have a good one..

Whoa!! I don't check the site for a couple of days and look what goes down.
I really resent what MKH wrote, but I'll try not to let what's written on the web get me down. Maybe because it hits so close to home since I'm considered both, old man or ricer, depending on who you talk to...
Truth is, I want to track my S, but my schedule does not allow it. I went to check out Colin and Fran at the local SCCA one time before they stopped going, but I have to work the weekends and that's the only time they run. And quarter mile runs worries me since dropping the clutch is the only way to get really good times.
I want a release for my need to VTEC, but for now, all I've got is the freeway on-ramps and my occasional foray into the dark side

Are they still auto X'ing at HRP? What time are you planning on heading down?
I've heard that there are things to hit other than cones with the SCCA set up at HRP and that some have caused several thousand dollars of damage to their cars. I'm a newbie so this causes me concern. I would definitely like to check it out though.
