Do you mean the SATT, this weekend?
I will also be interested, please post if you hear more.
Is there one on the 30th? I also looked at their website and didn't see anything.
Mercedes GWS HPDE event at Summit Point Shenandoah circuit on Sept 29-30th. OEM rollhoops are fine for this event. Good opportunity to get your S2000 on the track. Mercedes events historically have provided LOTs of seat time and have a relatively small turnout (~35 cars) which means lots of open track.

Can't wait to see Ron's and Jason's new cars out on the track, as well as hear how things are going with Matt and W2W. Matt you should keep a blog on the transition to wheel to wheel and share your experiences and race results.
Sadly (or perhaps happily) I heard David is thinking about selling the Teg for a car that can be converted to race W2W in a spec series. I know that's gotta be tough after spending an entire year building the turbo kit and installing related parts. Just imagine if he could have continued with the build by adding an LSD and wing...he was already eating AMGs and Porsches...
So my car keeps making a clicking/popping sound when I am in first gear and release the clutch. It started doing it over a year or two ago, and was intermittent, but now it does it pretty much every time. Sometimes it even makes several distinct multiple clicks when accelerating now, especially when on an incline of any type, either forwards or backwards. I first noticed this happening occasionally after my car was towed a couple years back..I don't remember noticing it before that. I was backed into the spot the night it was towed, and back then I tended to leave the car in neutral and use the e-brake. Any ideas what it could be?

If your car is towed improperly it will kill an s2000 diff, thats what happened to one of mine, but it can take a while for it to get bad enough for you to notice.

Hopefully that is his problem, it would be a lot cheaper.
