Aashish, sorry you got bounced from the SCCA event at Lime Rock. Welcome to my world! My understanding, however, is that Lime Rock does allow the S to run with a factory hard top. There will be other groups that you should be able to run with. C.A.R.T and MOHUD still have events scheduled there for October.

Even if Doug rates it a 4, it's convenient and close to home, so keep trying.

Jeff MOHUD is the local SCCA chapter. Their date was very convenient as vacation days are tight. Mid-Ohio is during the work week. I will check into CART for sure.

I will keep going to Lime Rock not only because of the convenience factor but also because at my skill level and physical fitness, it is still a formidable track for me to drive on.

Mid Ohio will be way more -- think of all the photo ops going under the big Honda signs

I hope it is. Will be my first time there

Not sure about photo ops or if they have a photog on site for the school.

loved that video, especially all the track elevations and changes in road camber. Looks like a fun course with lot of turns. Thanks for sharing

Got stuck driving in the rain several times but there is actually one thing better with the top up - you can hear the engine more at least.

And a few times like today - the sun came out and I got in some good top down time.
The S has been under cover since yesterday...rain predicted here for the next week.

Now that my membership has expired, I'm getting sick of all the ads and crap. The only reason I bought the membership was to sell all the autocross parts. I refuse to pay a yearly fee to a site that is funded by advertising. Funny, I willingly contribute as much or more to the not-for-profit VFR forum. (As I did with the Fiat forum.)

Do you get ads as punishment for non-membership?
