It has been 3 years since I picked up an S2000 and started tracking.
From my record, my first ever Buttonwillow 13CW track day was on 11.4.2007 and my best time was a 2:17 lol
Having forced to switch to my 2nd S2000 early this year due to numerous mechanical issues I had with the previous white AP1, I finally broke the 2 minute barrier at Buttonwillow on street tires =)
