thanks for setting up the meet/party.
too bad there was rain. More people would come. Only saw 2 S2000s there but I was late (work commitment).

a little heads up. the parking lot has a speed bump without any markings. It was difficult to see, esp in the rain and trying to avoid people walking around in the parking lot. my car bottomed out and I saw more cars did the same. None of the cars were going more than 5-10mph. Given this is a track prep store, cars are generally lowered. This wouldn't be a new problem. A $20 asphalt yellow spray can will prevent potential thousands of dollars in frame damage. Surprised Trackspec hasn't done this.

for a rainy day, that was a lot of cars, especially if people had to park on the side and on the streets.

you sure you came on time? there were 6 s2000's, including mine. the meet started at 1130/12 and ended at 230/3. a lot of cars left by then.
yea it's unfortunate that the speed bump in the front isn't marked, but it's kinda obvious that it's a bump.
at least you weren't like the 2017 NSX that thought they would clear the bump and went over it going 5mph and practically cracked their rear diffuser lol.

I'd come earlier but work comes first.
during the short time I was outside (total of maybe 5 minutes) 3 cars hit the speed bump. I'd say that is is not so obvious. Given this happened before (NSX, and I do not think this was a singular incident), why hasn't trackspec done something to increase visibility of the hazard. Again, their business is about cars that are often lowered, this is a foreseeable risk.

you should go to trackspec and talk to them in regards to the unmarked speed bump
