S2K Challenge Series #2 Results
After a very successful first event at Buttonwillow Raceway, the 2nd S2000 Challenge race was held on 2/8/09 at the famous Willow Spring International Raceway, affectionately known as the, "Fastest road in the west." 
The 2.5mile course consists of 9 turns combines speed with turns and elevation changes to offer a unique challenge. The track has been in existence for more than 50 years, and was recently declared as a California Point of Historical Interest. It is most famous for Turn 8: The lead in to this turn is the fastest section of the racetrack and coupled with the turn itself - probably the most critical for a good lap time. It is also the fastest turn on any racetrack west of the Mississippi River. The top S2000 Challenge drivers were hitting 120mph+ on this turn. 
The track is home to many auto and motorcycle racing series. There is a prevailing stereotype/mindset that states (for some odd reason) that S2000

Had a good time, and it was nice meeting you Ed.
I bought my S2k about a month ago and this was my first track experience with it, I must say for a stock car she did quite well.
Unfortunately I couldn't do the S2k challenge since as some of you might have seen, on session 4 I blew my passenger front tire coming out of turn 9 and spun her into the mud. See you next time!
