"To respond to an earlier post, I don't think I can do the MOHUD SCCA event at Lime Rock in the S because of the roll bar issue; and I don't think they will want me in the MGA when my max speed is about 87 mph. But I do plan to do the CART Lime Rock event in Sept. - have to check the date though."

Are S2000's prohibited from running at Lime Rock due to it being a convertible with no roll bar?
Even on track practice days?
Lived in Millerton my whole life and never considered running there myself until owning this car. lol
Thanks,
Bob

Jeff, sorry that Pocono got cancelled, but on the positive side you are going to Buenos Aires

I can check with MOHUD if you wanted. As it is a PDX, I have a feeling it will be more or less like CART. MOHUD only does one such event most years. Also with their late date, I doubt there will be as many people attending. Let me know

Got it done Levi. Did not do all of the hill, but most of it. In hindsight I should probably have done the whole thing while the temps were cool

It depends on the group you run with. Certain groups will allow the S2000 provided you have a hardtop. BMW CCA does not allow the S2000 unless it has both a roll bar and hardtop. There could be some groups that will allow you to run if you pass the broomstick test. The problem with the S2000 with no hardtop is that instructors are usually unwilling to ride in a convertible unless they have all the added protection.

You could check around with some of the groups that run there and ask to make sure

Thanks Aashish!
My car interests have always been more oriented to drag racing in the past so this is all new to me!

You are very welcome

Millerton is the coolest town I've ever visited. Often blueosprey90 and I stop there for a beer as and when I go to LRP to see him race his MG A.

The only thing I can add is...

AP1 > AP2

I've never had this problem with mine.

Have you ever traveled up the full length of Rudd Pond RD to where it returns out onto RT 22?
It's a nice alternative scenic drive if you happen to not be in a hurry.

OK, I'm lurking also. I've had my S for just about two months now. To paraphrase Charlton Heston, "they can take it when they can pry it from my cold dead hands".

There are a few things I notice on here that I question:
1. Every thing says that if caught in the rain with the top down, drive faster!
I find at 6'2' the rain justs hits your forehead harder.

2. It looks like the weight loss thread stopped about the time picnics started. At 260 I could use that forum

3. My 2002 S has less than 18,000 miles on it. How do you explain to your better half that you want a new exhaust? "Because its made from titanium" doesn't work as a reason at my house.

Well I better stop wasting IT's precious bandwith and get back to work. I will try to chime in more in the future. I usually listen more than talk.

Wise guys

This is an issue that can happen to any car. But maybe not if the only shifting you are doing is from 1st to 2nd


Don't think I have, although that road sounds familiar. We usually stop over at the Salsa Fresca on Rte. 22 for a beer
