I am one of the other s2k's registered. we have the same car I think (2005 silver). The other is a friend of mine. We are both from Wilmington. Looking forward to meeting another s2k owner. Not sure if you have been there with Chin before but its awesome. So much track time.

May end up adding the 3/7 VIR date and make it a 3 day weekend.
Back to back weekends are great, I did 4 weekends out of 5 in November and it was AWESOME.
Where did your wife go to high school?

Will take some pics tomorrow. Heading to Roebling this afternoon and haven't started packing other than loading the car.
It's 8.5x24. It's used so decent cosmetically, but mechanically sound. Wired for a generator and shore power, and has fluorescents, outlets, cabinets, etc.

Great weekend, just got home. Cell reception sucked at Roebling and for the first time ever I saw my phone say "no service" while inside my trailer. I've turned it on during flight and it will pick up signal!
Ended up passing the check ride to Intermediate Solo, which with PCA is apparently a big deal? I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary but I did I dial it way back for the check ride after small spin in T4 on Saturday. Afterwards, my instructor said that my spin was caused by being on the perfect racing line and not having the racing tires to back it up. Guess I need slicks...
I can also say that I've witnessed first hand what tire de-lamination looks like at speed - my buddy's tire blew on his trailer on the way home tonight, just east of Columbia on 26 west. Pretty sure he needed some new pants.
I took TONS of pics, will try to get some posted tomorrow.

Nice man. What size wheels do you run on track? I can send you some contact info for a take-off race tire supplier who can get you cheap take-off R6's (based on your wheel size). Once you go Hoosier, you don't go back. For very, very obvious reasons.
You missed a good tech day at Matt's house, lol.
