I actually drove it back from Macon last night its realy not too bad considerring. We got the hub on, beat the panels out and rolled the fenders with jackhandles!
I am looking on the positive side I don't need to worry about stickerring the car and ruining the paint anymore and my new fender roll I should be able to fit 17x9 RPF1's no worries

Awesome writeup! That looked like one hell of a time. I don't think it would get any better than endurance racing in an S2k.

Side note: I can't get the pics to open up full-size.

Next time y'all head south, shoot me a PM. I'd be happy to lend a hand.

Glad to hear everything got back together! Considering the damage to the car, it was reliving to hear you make it out of there unscathed. Cars can be fixed easily and cheaply, people can't be.

Nice to meet you Dan

I personally had a AWESOME TIME!!!!! I had only been to Road Atlanta once back in 2004 and I drove like a total homo back then. I beat that lap time by about 5 seconds during this Enduro.

The car was perfect for me. The new KW3's were set up right, alignment, brakes, tire, tire pressures, etc... everything worked well!

The pit guys were fast with fuel even for an unnounced stop...

One asshole ran into the back of a "brake checking" Porsche in the middle of the back straight.... .... minor damage to both vehicles....

Depending on how big my bill is for the weekend, I am ready to run another one.... unless I have to claim bankrupcy once the bill arrives.... in that case, i will have to wait about 7 years for the bankruptcy to clear before I can do another enduro race...

TOM - I owe you some $ for my bitchassfantastical shirt...... i forgot all about that!

as an added bonus we stopped in SC and bought about $10k in fireworks...... don't light a match anywhere near EJO or JFO's houses...... :bang:....

Scot, you drove fast, but you're still a homo. The mylaps are up and from the looks of it John and Rene were battling with the Cayman for 2nd around the 6-6.5 hour mark!

You'll be back in an S2000 soon enough, you're just too far ahead of the curve

The t-shirt was a gift Scot, you keep it
