Tan,
Thank you so much for being so concerned. My friend and I were not able to attend the dinner because it was very important that we went home ASAP because we already missed school on Monday, couldn't miss another day. Thanks again!

Gosh, I am sorry to hear you wrecked your car. I have been home from track on a flat bed once also. It was painful not to be able to drive the car home.
One thing I was wondering, Did S2Ki allow passengers? I have never been to any driving school that allow passengers for students. I usually f*** up when there is a passenger with me. I think all my on track excursion include a passenger. for me, the mentality change when there is someone in my car. I try to do a good job to improve their instructor's ride. Normally, I will drive a bit faster than just by myself.
Hope everything will work out OK. And, put this experience behind you and enjoy your future track days.

Sorry to hear your accident, the only thing that's matter is you get out ok.
Don't get upset with the accident and never give up on driving in a track.
Accident do happen but we just have to learn from our mistake to get better skills.
Ask somebody who saw what happen and learn from the mistake. next time you
will become a better driver.
I had also spin out on the turn one in Laguna Sega a long time ago in my
944 Turbo. But I am lucky enough to step on the brakes and clutch hard when
I knew I can't saved it. Brake hard to decrease the momentum next time.
Laguna Sega is not a beginner's track and I hope you will enjoy driving there
next time.

Bad news. I didn't think that there was such a problem in HK! I lived there for 6 years before I moved here, I had a Saab convertible and always left it in the street or in parking lots with the roof off.
I have a number of friends with flash cars there (Ferrari and Porsche mainly) and never heard that they had problems.
One thing I guess you can be pretty sure of..... it isn't in HK anymore
Sorry to hear about that.....

VTEC Racer-
I know we spoke as we went up the hill to watch the cars go through the corkscrew.... As you said even though you went through a terrible experience, you have good people here to support you online. The only thing now is to get these guys to support you with $$$$ Well, glad to hear that you're dad is helping you out with this, especially since he was not so keen on you coming in the first place. How are you going to get your car home?? Are you going to fly here and then drive it back? Well, I hope all is well and if you need any help let me know.

Sorry to hear about the car... But thanks for the informative report. I am going to start racing my new S2000 next month at the local autoX and found your information helpful.
Do you have photos? How about posting them?

Sorry to hear about the car VTEC Racer. I was hoping that all of you would come back with little to no damage. I'm glad that the both of you are alright though. Keep us updated on the car. Good luck with the repairs.
