btw... even though this wasn't on the original schedule, this will be a POINTS event. (Double Sunday!)

Now we'll see a few more S2000s there.

Might try to make it, but it's awfully close to our baby's due date.

That will make a funny story for the future...

Hmmm, I am hoping that work doesn't get in the way. I might have to travel early on Labor Day.

Okay, I just signed up for this Willow event.
[Ry, wish I could do Sears but it's a bit too difficult to get to.]

btw... the last time I saw Conway driving an S2000 @ Big Willow... wuss was definitely not the word I would have used to describe it. (1:40 bone stock on bald S02s)

however... of you do like wussy driving... I'll be at this one on street tires.
Thanks for sticking up for me Drewchie

Bitterman ran in the low 1:38.XX in my Spec Miata with not the best tires and we need shocks for it also. Reason I say it's faster then a Stock S2000 is because the about a year ago best laps I was able to turn in a stock 2001 S2000 with slightly bald SO2s was in the mid 1:39s but it was not on the same day. That was the day I passed that Radical in turn 8 on the big track and you guys where at the streets. I have to find that post, it was pretty funny.

The most impressive was little Oscar Jackson, 1st time on the track in my Spec at big willow turning mid 1:39s and this was the 1st time on a car track. He normally runs go-karts or front weel drive cars in Auto-X. Damn 18 year old kid over a second faster then me in my own car.

But I hear the top spec miata guys are in the low 1:37s or high 1:36s at willow (Not sure How, they must have cheater motors)

Bitterman was able to turn low 2:08s at Buttonwillow the last event running configuration 14 with the new buttonhook. I couldn't get under 2:10s as I kept screwing up the new buttonhook (never drove the new buttonhook) and was having a hard time turing into the essess as I'm use to going to star mazda turn.

Anyway we will be out there next weekend at Big Willow...I'm hoping I have enough time to prepare for it and make Carne Asada...If I do please come over and have some.

I hate to burst your bubble cause I know you think 1:40 is fast but in reality it's pretty lackluster for an S which will run 1:40.x stock including tires with an only half-way decent driver. davepk drove mine 1:34s on street tires and richard wasn't far behind with 1:35s also on street tires. Not stock but I've handicapped in 5s/lap in saying 1:40s are standard issue.
