My view, 2nd of the s2ks
This was a 4 lap race at chuckwalla. All integras got to grid ahead of all s2ks, to make it interesting I guess. Thanks to rhouck for the video.
Top video has about 24 secs more than bottom video, so play top video for 24 secs then hit play on bottom video for synchronized action!

This is how trackdays should be run, Best Motoring style short gentleman's battle at the end of the day. It should be pretty easy to determine who is safe enough to drive with others wheel to wheel like this.

Great driving by everyone really.

Good on the hosts of this track day for making it happen!

To the guy who thinks this is unsafe, see the beginners group at almost any track day anywhere, way more dangerous driving going on there than what is happening here, so many people completely unaware of their surroundings, not to mention their own car, even with the slower pace, and even with controlled passing only on straights. So sick of this world that people seem to get their head stuck in where everything is so unsafe and taking any risk is a death sentence..

i dont think he was stating that its unsafe, i think its that you usually dont have stock interior or any interior for that matter in a actual wheel to wheel race

this will usually happen if the fast guys line up togther even in a normal track day lol... i expect this to happen in advanced group for the BT day!!

Lots of fun! And I rewatched today with the videos synced side-by-side on dual monitors -- cool!

It definitely was a fun way to end the day. We had all seen each other drive all day, and I had even traded ridealongs with one of the other S2000s (the one behind gen2gsr). Everyone was safe and conservative, but still made for a fun little competitive event at the end. It was neat to focus on a competition besides just lap times on a sheet at the end of the session!

Looks like fun!

Did they publish race results and lap times?

This is pretty much what happens in open passing HPDE4.
