I really don't think those items are going to make a whiif of difference other than lighten your wallet.

Save your money for track fees' and brake pads



The least modded S2k at this event had the fastest time by far. (not saying your car isnt set up well George)
The other yellow car had a SC and the silver car had boat loads of shit






And Skip... George isnt selling shit anymore. Hes gona keep tracking his S. Im doing my best to keep him from selling out and trying to convince hime to go the next step

Honda Challenge!!!!!!!!

Baffled oil pans - I had oil starvation at the end of 2004 in my race S2000 with the stock pan. My #4 piston was scored and required a new shortblock. I got a baffled oil pan (mugen) for about $400.00..... well worth it. In 2005 I had no engine issues and the car still runs strong (with it's new owner).

$400 is cheap insurance for the baffled oil pan if you are running R compound tires. at that time of failure, we did not even run on Shenadoah

What tracks had you run that year?

I probably dont drive as hard as any of you guys Still learning to be comfortable behind the seat. So for the meantime, I'll probably be okay with the stock pan.

When you get your car together, I gotta come out and watch you sometime

I hear that RA1's are going to be the Spec tire.

If I would have traveled a few more feet backards on Sunday after entering the Carosel too fast I might have had a instant race car.

At this time I cannot afford start racing. It's possible I could get downsized this year.

I'm not saying this happened to me, but it was odd that I had engine problems after my off at BR in '04. I had 3 track days on RA-1's and stock motor + sc'er. Considering that I've gone through a couple of motors now, I'll spend that little extra to buy a little peace of mind.

As for the BSK, I know I'll never run enough negative camber in the rear to justify it, but it might make a difference on some bumpy backroads. Now, if you run over the rumble strips like John(jfo), then they'll come in handy!

Mine actually died at Summit Point on Hoosiers......but I also ran Beaverun, Road Atlanta, VIR North, VIR full and Mid Ohio.

I am expecting my car to be ready for at least some fun within the month.

No race seat, harness, net, suspension or gears yet, but working on all of that.
