I think I am the only guy in this thread that has ran the DC Pro before, so let me tell you, our s2000's, comparitively speaking, will be at their biggest disadvantage compared to any other site or race layout in the United states. The launch and drag race is up hill for 150 ft (at least) followed by another (even longer, and steeper) run up the hill. This places a HUGE advantage on the power cars. The BS solstices creamed everyone in 2010, the 350/370z creamed all of CS too. All the power cars dominated their classes. Now that being said, a full prep BS CR has never competed here, so we'll see how we do. I do believe the AP2/CR can win - but I will say, without question, that Eric Kriemelmeyer will be FAST in that Solstice. Hopefully it's a Honda on the top step when the dust settles.
Eric had some problems with his solstice and is driving Steve Kahre's s2000 this year at the pro. At least that's what he said on Sunday.

Nick, i know you will be 100% busy on Saturday with your car, but if you get a moment, I would LOVE you to drive my car and comment on it. Even if you don't comment, it still might be good luck.

It is 850/700 Gendron front / Gendron rear, and not that far from what your car was like (from what I can tell). I need to fiddle with rear compression to make it a little more predictable on the slippery FedEx surface, but otherwise love the car's handling in all respects.

Just watched the video. Looks like some super slow/tight hairpin digs at the top and bottom of the keys, huh? hmmm....

Good news for us....but I'll wait until I don't see a turbo-charged fire breathing monster show up on Friday

Are you sure it's good luck? I did hit the last f*#king cone on course to blow the national championship....

Sure man, I would love to drive you car. Grab me after I have done 5 or 6 runs in my CR when I have the course nailed down. I'd be glad to give any feedback I can.

Great. Remember, I drove Mark Melchior's car at National's last year. It was a well balanced setup. I'll talk further with you on the details on Saturday.

it is a very rare s2k option package. it was essentially the predecessor to the CR. the SEB allowed the update/backdate of the ACR package for 2012 in BS (letter #347664).

Oh yeah? ACR meaning "Air Conditioning" and "Radio" included?
