For NASA, if I have a fixed bucket seat/6pt harness on driver side, do I need to match the setup on the passenger side?
No sir, not required. Hope to see you out there!

Thanks. You doing MCRC at CMP this year? I plan to, but will need to update my passenger seat/harness for that event.

I just saw your video this morning while waiting on a medical appt. I was there too, but I didn't realize there was another S2000 there besides m. I got lucky and another guy I been going to TNIA with samed me a garage spot.

Wow, awesome how you carried speed into NASCAR turn 3. The first time I went into, I slowed from 120 to 100 MPH. By the end of the night, I got my speed up to 125-127 before turn 3 but still slowed down to 110 before getting back on the gas. I guess that is why I was in the novice class.

Earlier that day at HMS where I purchased and installed a Schroth 6 pt harness to make the most out of my time in Charlotte. I ran out of time to run a few laps at GoPro.

Nope, I believe the new Roval configuration just opened up in the past couple of months.

Yea I got there around 3:30 and paddocked next to my buddy outside the garages in a red FD RX7. I also didn't realize there were any other S2000s.

I started holding it against the rev-limiter in 5th towards the end of the first session and it felt pretty comfortable. I could probably handle another 5 mph thru the banking but the S2K doesn't like accelerating in 6th (especially with the top down) so I think I may have lost speed if I had shifted into 6th before NASCAR Turn 3.
