We had owned a 2001 Honda S2000 also yellow which we sold as we had adopted a daughter and the car was not appropriate. Now that she is 10 years old we decided we wanted another bite of the apple.

Has anyone "tracked" a CR? I wonder if the car is track ready (not for racing just for driver training etc) or are modifications required?

We enjoy visiting Limerock Raceway in Conneticut and would love to chat with other S2000 owners who also go there.

Welcome and congrats! A lot of us CR owners track our cars frequently. Car is a blast in stock form and very capable

That can also be said of all S2000's though

Welcome & congrats! I'd confirm with the track organization on whether you are allowed without a roll bar.

I live at Lime Rock and you won't be the only S2000 there. I encourage you to come visit us! I myself am there 5 or more times per summer.

We plan our track days in both the Upstate NY region and the New England region. Lime Rock is close to Albany so we get a lot of members from that area on track with us.

Welcome aboard

We love to track our CR's. Only thing you really need for now is DOT 4 fluid and better brake pads. Enjoy!

Hey welcome back, Joe!

Enjoy it, and the CR is 'track-ready' in stock form, a few bolt ons wouldn't hurt by why not try it out in stock form and see how you yourself like it?
