Not totally, due to being in a group, we were allowed 80+ down straights, which is more than enough for many of us. It was mostly up to the drivers. The suggested speed of 55 was more than enough around the bends

The mowers at 51 and 54 second marks? I looked and everyone is on the same line though. I don't get how I was any closer than anyone else though. Hmmmm

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing guys. Glad you had a good time.

No Spunky P is Russell (Omniruss) from the Syracuse area. Supercharged Suzuka Blue
Actually Spunky P is my dog, Jack Russell/Rat Terrier middle name 'P'.

I need to spin up a bit more on this forum... hello, my name Russell, owned and loved my '05 S since 2006.

Welcome Russell. We've often wondered about the lack of owners from the Syracuse area on here. We figured they did not exist, except for one owner, 01SpaS2K.

Now with you and Chris Allen, I am happy to see Syracuse stepping up. Maybe its time for us to revive that mega Upstate Meet we always wanted to plan for in and around the Syracuse area. I am assuming you guys know all the fun roads in that part of the state.

Oh and I put the 5mm spacers back on the car and the tires still clear but barely and the wobble is gone too. So i put the car on jackstands to see why I have excessive vibration at higher speeds and found a nut fell off the front passenger side diff mount! http://www.bkhondaparts.com/oem-part.../90372-sr3-003 So the car is in the storage awaiting for the part until arrival.
haha trouble maker

Perhaps we can compare notes..

1) 13 Curves (aka Cedarvale Rd) all the way out to Rte 20
2) Rte 13 in Chittenango
3) Rte 174 into Marcellus
4) Rte 20 between Syracuse and Illion, but *at speed*, and watch for cops
5) Illion gorge run (aka Rte 51)
6) Rte 80 heading north just off of I81
7) Rte 80 heading north just crossing Rte 20

.. are the first few that come to mind. Any other worthy of mention? Of course there's plenty of 180s and 270s on and off the Syracuse interstates, the lefties are probably just like driving nascar
