TT is good times and there is some definite strategy to be had. Can be tough in the mid pack because there are cars around you that make speed in very different ways....good on ya for keeping your nose clean and staying on!

My weekend ended on lap 1 Sun Morning...
Oh hey man! Yeah we were paddocked right next to you. I saw your car sitting there smoking when we all came off. Sorry for the bad luck. Looked like you were absolutely FLYING though the rest of the weekend!

It ran in the 17's, which was nice, but only had 6-7 hot laps all weekend. Definitely would have gone 16's on Sunday, but that'll ahve to wait until spring.....though I hope it will be closer to 15's, if I'm honest .

It's weird...the car doesn't really feel that fast, but it just sort of teleports around the track. I'm hoping for 56's at VIR in the spring ...time will tell.

Nice times guys! I wanted to make the Fall Finale event at Summit but couldn't make it.. Your car looks real nice and clean Snowmants! You mind me asking what tow hook you're using on the front? Also, if you ever decide to sell one of your recaro PP's for a halo seat let me know, I might be interested.

srproductions, so you got another S? I swear I think you've been through at least 4 or so in the last couple years.

The one I have is a copy of the j's front tow hook, but it is thicker and supposedly stronger. Probably also heavier but that didn't matter much to me. Here is a link. I bought mine over 2 years ago but when I got mine quality was great and came with excellent quality hardware. Here is a link:

will let you know on the seats. I am a big guy and actually want something bigger but I am having a tough time finding something bigger that still fits in the s2000!

Yea, I actually bought back one of my old cars. I think I'm going to keep this one for a while.

Thanks for that link Snowmants! One question for you, does it protrude out past the front bumper a lot? I'm looking for one that hopefully doesn't protrude out much or even at all so it'll pass a VA inspection. Installing and removing the OEM tow hook before/after every event sure gets old.. The fact that it's made out of steel is good from a strength perspective (some of the Al ones are just bling). I wish it wasn't red but I guess I can just spray paint it black.
