A perfect a race car is a s2k with over 300k on her. Haha. Surprisingly old girl is holding up well to the abuse I put her through. Track was so much more fun this weekend, partially because I think my balls got bigger.

 

See a doctor?

 

I did, wife said all looked normal.

Had a fun time driving the NJMP Lightning this weekend. The drive is about the same or maybe a little shorter than to VIR, about 3.5 hours. The facility is beautiful. The track itself is pretty fast, yet not overly technical like a Shenandoah. The things that make it interesting are elevation changes and blind crests. The best thing is there is a lot of runoff room into grass around the entire track pretty much, so there is room for error in that respect. I think NJMP Thunderbolt would be more fun for the smaller cars like the S2000, I'll have to keep an eye out for an event there.

 

Thunderbolt is fun, I like it better than lightning. Both are worth the drive. It is only about 2.5 hours from me so much closer than VIR.

 

id like to visit VIR and NJMP. only problem is id have to stay overnight locally there and having 2 toddlers now does warrant me to do that. next summer hopefully. ah, im still a newb anyways. better figure out summit main 100% before venturing out probably.

 

How about that new 818? Anybody else following factory fives new kit car?

 

I think its pretty cool, going to make WRX drivetrains much more expensive though

 

The 818 looks very interesting as a dedicated track car. It looks like there's a possibility of a coupe version too but I like the look of the bodyless chassis, has a kind of an Aerial Atom look. With no bodywork it would be super easy to maintain too. At 1800 lbs with a WRX turbo that thing will scream. It's going on the short list of S2000 replacements.
