He wasn't racing so he took the time to spend the morning taking pics.

Working on a few combined videos.
Here is one, but the back camera on the roof failed so I only have the inside camera view.
This contains the inside video and you see the thumbs up at the 15 second mark.

Default The end of an era....time to start something new.

Good-bye old friend, your were a trusty steed and served me well since 2011.
We did many things along the way and together we made the S2ki community stronger.

Served you well, including a safe space on that last ride. Enjoyed seeing the progress and doing a little to help with that.
RIP #59
Recover quickly Greg.

Greg - I think every regular on here got a ride in that car around Lime Rock or Watkins. So I’m sure there are many heavy hearts. More importantly it kept you safe and you’re the reason the track community got stronger. That little car did everything it had to do to keep you safe. I can sort of imagine what you’re going through having had a similar experience. The car wasn’t mine but it still hurt me. It took a while to recover, but recover I did. In time you will too and know that as you’re going through the motions, the community is with you.

So sorry Greg. Looks like no corner was left untouched. Must be quite a story behind it. A real loss for all of us.

You sure had a lot of blood , sweat, and tears into that old girl and I can't thank you enough for all your hard work.
I am thankful for some many things you have done to help the racing effort.
You were one of the few that got to enjoy the fruits of your labor by driving the beast on Lime Rock and on Watkins Glen.

Damn this seriously is heart breaking. Most importantly, you are okay Greg which is what matters. As much as we hate to see any s2k, especially one of our own's in this condition, your well being takes importance. I still remember my first ever S2000 event at WGI and we went out in the beast and hit something like 155 on the back straight. Also remember trying to chase you down last year in Frank's m3. Get better soon Greg, looking forward to seeing you behind the wheel once again.

Greg, this is so sad! You had so much work into that car and though it isn’t ‘gone’ now, it sort of is. Lessons learned, and taught to others i’m Sure, but it is still a shame. I hope it wasn’t any kind of dumb luck or stupid error on anyone’s part that caused this. And i’m Sorry we never got to race together at VIR or Summit Point. Maybe one day in the future when you’ve got another steed to flog around the track.

What are you going to do with the car now?
