It's supposed to rain in the morning Sat, hopefully it stops by mid day so we can have a nice drive.

 

It is the 23rd. That is not this weekend but the following.

Bahaha, wow. Yeah...

 

Any thoughts on where a drive might go?

If not a drive, there are always the Go Karts at Frankies just down the street...

 

Hey All,

As a recent transplant from G-boro (but not new to the area though, I've lived in Raleigh, Durham, Cary & Holly Springs) it's good to see some social action in the triangle. I'll try to make it with wife.

Autocross season also starts soon. Anybody race with Tarheel Sports Car Club? I noticed little auto-x participation from the G-boro S2000 crowd in general. I will make as many Triangle and Triad auto-x as possible this year.

Heck yeah, I'm heavily involved with Tarheel Sports Car Club. I'm actually one of the classroom instructors for their track events.

I should be doing a full season in the S2000 in AS. Anyone who hasn't taken a crack at autocross in their S2000 is truly missing out. The cars are just phenomenal autocross machines, even factory stock.

 

krshultz,

How's the rollover protection rules for THSCC's track days?

 

krschultz,

Hope to see you at an event soon. Maybe you can show me how to auto-x my '03. I come from a fwd Honda background (CRX, Integra).

Well, I don't have a lot of good news there. Like with most any convertible, the club - most tracks really - require the use of an SCCA Solo 1 legal roll bar. Arm restraints too if you run with a soft top, not if you have a hard top.

At our event last weekend, there was a guy with an AP1 who had the Hard Dog bolt-in roll bar. It was a nice piece of kit. But the installation was apparently a son of a gun, and required a fair amount of cutting up of plastic and other bits of the car. Not something I'm going to be doing to my car - track stuff is what the CRX is going to end up being for.

 

I spoke to the guy that runs the Mid Atlantic region of NASA and he told me that they wont allow S2000's without a 4 point roll bar. I am not sure about the south region. I have seen many pictures of guys AUTO-Xing without a rollbar so I am not sure about that.
