Aashish, when we're traking in June, we can set up a little race between ourselves.
So to give you a fighting chance, I'll share some of Joe Cogbill's advice. Joe was from the South and had a way with words, except every third or fourth word was a four letter cuss word. Here's what Joe said:
"When ya turn the sturrin' wheel, ya put the throooouuutle down, and I don't mean any of this part throoouuutle sh... either. I MEAN ON THE F.......N FLOOR!

Thanks Jeff 
1. we could do a time attack. I would be very scared of going wheel-to-wheel with a vintage race car for fear of causing damage
2. I knew a Joe McKinney back in Atlanta that pretty much sounded the same and had the same advice. He was an active member of the local BMW CCA chapter as well.
EDIT: So GoPro did capture some video of the slower than S2KI upgrade second session. Uploading the video now. Will share it soon as its done

TOV's First Drive review impressions of the 2012 Civic Si. If you don't want to or can't spend 10 minutes watching it, then the gist is that the older car is better.

Holy crap, my best "customer" who is basically a business partner just told me she was diagnosed with breast cancer and starts treatment Monday. She's the closest thing to a co-worker I have, we talk and chat and work together at least 3 days a week.
She says it's the most easily treatable and that prognosis for full recovery is very good, but I kinda feel like I got kicked in the stomach. She's younger than I am, in good condition, and gets alot of exercise chasing her kids around... you just never know what life is going to throw at you.

Ellen, I wish her the best of luck for her health, and to you, as this will indeed ending up being stressful on you
So sorry to hear
