Many of us have memories of our very first track outing. The hustle and bustle around the paddock, purpose-built race cars being driven in on trailers, the whirr of pneumatic tools as lug nuts are tightened and the public announcement system calling groups to the staging area. All that may make a rookie feel out [...]

Peace of mind – it’s what we seek as we get on with our lives. Perhaps it is the litigious nature of global society, the world coming to an end in 2012 or sophisticated marketing that has us geared towards derisking or hedging every aspect of life. We set aside income for a retirement nest [...]

“Don’t get a ticket, and don’t get dead.” It takes a different part of your brain to speak than it does to think, so sometimes it’s important to verbally reaffirm your goals before you set out for the day. It had been a long week, so I thought I’d set out on a beautiful, sunny, [...]

We got word from fellow news team member, JulieU, that a write-up was brewing  from one of  the crew that attended the 2011 Boston Mountains Tour (BMT). A significant other and forum member, Ms. Goes Fast, was so inspired by the event that she wrote a speech for a class project about the Boston Mountains [...]

  Nobody else drives my car, ever. Except when they do… I’ve tried to stick to this rule since I purchased my NFR in 2009. I’ve seen too many owners’ cars wrecked by their “friends” to ever trust anyone else behind the wheel. Almost without exception, guest drivers fail to consider that exploring the limit [...]

What we’d give for a picture perfect and salubrious November day. Alas that is a daydream for some of us, but for those that live in sunny southern climes, its just another sunny day. This day (about which you are going to read) however was special, with it being the 2011 S2000 MegaMeet organized by the [...]

Yet another major event within our community is set to take place this weekend. Florida S2000 Owners are getting together on Saturday, the 12th of November for the 2011 Florida S2K MegaMeet. 106 S2000s have confirmed participation along with two NSXs and a total attendee population of 180 members. Best of all, the event is [...]

Over the past weekend we received a PM from a member who short-listed their favorite articles and asked us if we could publish them. Seeing how these articles are representative of the community and also considering that we are heading into the holiday season, we felt it would be appropriate to republish links to these [...]

My roommate at Dragon Ball Run XI, ofsalesmen, wrote this essay upon the passing of Steve Jobs. I trust that you will enjoy reading this as much as all of us at the news team did.  Having read it, I am sure that you too will come to appreciate and possibly theorize, like we did, [...]

The Mid-Ohio course is well-known to all of us as the place where our members and their Honda S2000′s participate in the parade laps for the Honda Indy 200 (IndyCar) race with the drivers riding shotgun. This event has become a tradition for the Ohio S2000 owners. Little known though is the fact that the [...]

  It used to be that cars didn’t have lights, then they had a couple, and now they have a lot. How they function and their purpose has changed over the years, so here’s a little history. High beams used to be the norm in driving. There was so little traffic you would drive and [...]

The 11th Annual DragonBall Run was held recently among the hills and dales of the Great Smoky Mountains where years ago highway engineers laid asphalt little realizing the joy they’d bring to legions of motorists. As always, the event was a big success and enjoyed by all its participants. Three of them, Airgate, the Master [...]

Many S2000 owners fantasize about the perfect camera setup to capture their next event at the track or a local meet/group drive. Few have invested excessive amounts of money into complex systems so technologically advanced that they would seem to be on par with equipment used by Hollywood. Yet the art of filming has advanced [...]

We have all heard tales of the Nurburgring, have seen cars being tested or setting lap records. Sir Jackie Stewart labeled it “The Green Hell” for the toll it took on several lives. Over the years, modern safety standards and changes to the layout have improved safety, but the Nurburgring continues to be a cruel [...]

The Fifth of August marks a quiet anniversary, an event that will most likely pass by unknown amidst the media circus over the Civic losing its Consumer Reports Recommendation and other worldly affairs. Twenty years have passed since Soichiro Honda breathed his last on August 5, 1991. He rose from humble beginnings to a position [...]
