No specific events exclusively for the S2000. Mohawk Hudson SCCA is the group that runs autocrosses in the area. Had an event today, next one is mid-August. Check out their website for the schedule and come on out.

As far as an alignment, go to Albany Speed Shop (close to where you live). They are the best shop in the area for alignments. A lot of race cars go there to get aligned as well. Tell them the guy with the Laguna Blue S2000 referred you. For regular maintenance, you can do it yourself or take it to Albany Speed Shop. For specific work, send a PM to jsenclosures, who is a vendor on here. He does work like soft-top installs, clutch installation etc.

If you are handy, there is a wealth of information on this forum. From maintenance to repairs and rebuilds. Sign up for a membership to get full access, it also helps the guys keep the site running. Hope to see you soon.

Thanks for the info, I will check out Albany speed shop. I try to do most of my own work, just installed a stoptech sport kit, new front calipers and rebuilt the rears.

I actually bought the S from Jake so I will probably get ahold of him if I need anything I can't do. Are the MHSCCA events good for beginners?

ah! so that was you that bought the car from Jake. Hope you have been enjoying it.

Yes the MoHud events are great for beginners. They have been running events like this for close to 60 years now. They will provide instruction. Matter of fact, just yesterday they held an autocross school which is a non-points event. At the points event, they do have a novice walk through and usually the senior guys will ride with you as well as take you out in their cars.
