Sorry to disappoint but the S2000 finished 2nd at the 2001 Nationals for Solo II in AS:

Love the car but it didn't win Nationals in 2001 ( it did make a pretty strong showing)

Sorry about the outdated info on the John Eagle Performance website. The JEH weekend is May 18-19 at TWS. 46 S2000's are registered right now.....42 last September showed so I think we will break the 50 mark this time.....No other model can come close. Lots of Honda's but no one close.
We will be showing the new Civic SI, a blue S2000 with the AEM engine management system (super chip) plug and play, and Honda is providing Andretti's Cart Car from last season. This will be a great show and track event....Hope to see you all there!
Tell your friends!

Is there a better URL to put in the list at the top of this topic?

I'm trying to keep the list up-to-date...

all good but where are these places and who migh go from the central tx club?

I've added some more descriptive information to the list at the top. I hope to keep the list up-to-date, if there is interest.

Most events are somewhere in the middle of the state, although some are at the far ends.

I know several people at going to Driver's Edge and John Eagle events, and several people from the list regularly go to the auto-x Solo II events. There are usually posts form them if they are going...

Looking at the schedule that jwfisher posted above, it looks like there is only one JEH event this year -- is this correct? I was thinking of skipping the May event (it's right next to my industry's trade show, E3) and going in Sept. (the one I attended last year), but if there's only one JEH event this year, I need to reconsider... *sigh* too bad the DE events are $260+ -- the JEH price of $200 is about my limit.

As discussed here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=46712 there are different orientations to open track/driver's education events. JEH and Driver's Edge are prime examples. I firmly believe the extra money for Driver's Edge is extremly worthwhile.

JEH wil be a fun event, but being Honda-oriented and S2000-focused has some serious drawbacks.

You will do *much* better with a "non-denominational" group like Driver's Edge, and much worse with a brand-oriented (and restricted) group like LSRPCA - who put a definite Porsche-elistist edge on their events and severely restrict non-P car drivers in several ways (no advancement, last-to-register, etc).

cdelena is absolutely right-on... this is serious stuff and any type of event on a high speed racetrack has a lot of hidden costs. There will be wear and tear on the car - particularly the tires. You'll need an oil change - and many people do them before and after. As you progress, you'll want to buy race tires, align the suspension, and start doing even more serious suspension (prime importance) and engine (lesser importance) mods.

Then there is the cost of safety gear - a top-notch helmet is critical. I use a special pair of race shoes and gloves. You'll eventually want a harness (although in convertibles that can be a controversial idea).
