LOL I know that but I would rather plan to stay overnight than spend 6 - 8 hours on the highway in addition to my track time.

[quote name='Langelo DeMysterioso' timestamp='1475079498' post='24071756']How far is this?

From where we are, roughly 3 hours. I've already booked a hotel for Thursday night. But if you do the half lapping day, you can leave in the morning and get there in time.

from where? From Metro! LOL Actually I think you live in my hood

Yeah I'm having trouble with the half day drive up there then track then after that having to drive a half day back.

I know we live in the same neighborhood and that's why I wrote, "from where we are". I google mapped it around the time of your post so it might have taken in the traffic conditions. I booked a room at the Sheraton in Springfield for Thursday night.

I read this and this would suggest the OEM rollbar behind the stock seats are sufficient. But hearing how the S2000 has had issues at certain tracks and track organizations, I emailed and asked about it to make sure. What I posted about the rollbar and OEM hardtop is the reply I got. I don't want to provide the wrong information and have people register but unable to run their S at the track on the day of.

Bumping this up as there seems to be some interest from yesterday's karting event. Please let me know before you register so I can request the $50 off coupon code for us.
