Finally got to my first autocross in my new s2000. Was at blue crab stadium in a boosted yellow ap1 on a friends rpf1's. Was co-driving with an old buddy from UMD- we both did FSAE there. Let's just say the Formula car was a little easier to handle than my s...
I will be the first to say that it is too much power for me personally to put to the ground properly. Turbo was already installed when I purchased the car; I wish I could have driven it stock first to see the difference. Looking forward to attending some more events and improving my skills

Or some R-Compound tires.

The thing is that it is my daily as well, so I don't think I'm ready to commit to a set of dedicated track tires at the moment. Still have some decisions to make in that regard. I'll look into the Cumberland events. Thanks for that.

FYI, If you are boosted you should be in SSM, not SM.
Always good to see another S out there.

Yep, found that out at the event. Thanks for the heads up though!

Me and the missus brought two cars, the usual Miata and the former Justin Neal CRX. I wasn't sure what to expect from the CRX but it was fairly close to the Miata's times though Kate was beating me. I finally got to swap cars for the third run in the afternoon and realize just how down on power the CRX is. When I drove off from the start in the Miata you can hear me say "WHOA" - anything that makes a Miata feel surprisingly fast in a straight line must be really SLOW.

No worries- I appreciate you help regardless. You must not have been looking hard enough if you didn't see the spin on my last run
. Like you mentioned to me, I really just need to tone it back a little bit and get off the gas and brakes some. I just need to get out there and get some more time driving under my belt...

I think there is a good chance I'll be selling the STI and looking for another S2000 that I can build to actually be 100% STR legal. Hoping to find one with that's bone stock that still has a convertible top and fenders that are untouched. First mod will be nice suspension 
No definite there but I'm really learning towards it. Shouldn't have sold the last one
