forgot to tell everyone what i overherd while we were waiting for the parade lap to start:

"I don't know why honda stopped making these cars... this event here should be shown to honda to prove to them that the demand is still very high" "I agree, I have never seen so many of these in one place!"



I wanted to turn around and tell them "Three months ago there were 140 of us in Tennessee to run route 129... and there is a homecoming every year with hundreds of s2000s"

Any of the finger lake area folks familiar with this place?

http://www.overlookwesthill.com

It's not WG but it's a helluva lot closer than I am now... and VERY reasonably priced. The photos of units and grounds and buildings all look awesome.

I am tempted to take a ride over and check it out in person unless someone has a really bad personal experience to relate.

Still looking for other rentals in the area if anyone has recommendations. Only "requirements" are parking and pets.

Have fun guys and gals,

Aashish and I were at the track Saturday morning, and I went back on Saturday afternoon. We saw a lone Suzuka parked at the Bus Stop at around 10:30 when they restarted the Group 1 race; and I saw it again at around 4:30 when I went to see the Collier Cup race for MGs. Same parking spot, so the car had not been moved. Was that you? If so, do you still have hearing?

For Watkins check with Eric N's sister Wendy.
Her and her husband Bob manage a number of houses in the Glen area.

Jeff, The car we saw was a Laguna. Harry came by to meet us when we parked downtown after the drive was done. Harry, it was great to meet you and finally associate a face with a name

Hope I get to meet Cone Mark as well some day
