Hey guys. I picked up my new to me 2004 Rio Yellow S2K. It's stock and it's clean, I feel bad for it, but it's going to be driven like I stole it. It's a dedicated track machine. I have an autocross season scheduled for this year and once the roll bar is in, it's going for HPDE events. My daily is a 2011 STI but I wanted a true "sport" car, not a "sporty" car. I competed in Midwest Autocross from '11-'12, New England Rallycross in '13, then switched to bicycle and motorcycle racing in '13 to '19. I'm looking to pick up Autocross to familiarize myself with the car, then start Time Attack here in New England.

Wish me luck, fam.

I'm in the Fitchburg/Groton area. I'm 6 minutes away from the Devens Airfield for AX.
NE is a nice place to be because Canaan, Palmer, Loudon, and Thompson. I've driven them all collectively between the STI and my 899 Panigale but the S2K is going to be a new experience.

Yea, true. But they fade on the straights.

Welcome OP. Nice car.

Nice! Been to Devins for autox a few times back when I lived in BOS. Enjoy the car man! Had a WRX during my Boston days and had a lot of fun with it, your STI+S2K is a great combo to have in the garage
