Thanks to Tivo, I just watched a Road and Track episode called "Ride of Your Life", which featured Laguna Seca. There were 3 different S2000's pictured during the special (a black, a red # "13"), and a nice blurb about a female owner who had a Spa Yellow. I did a search, but it didn't turn anything up.

Very cool. Just wondering if anyone else saw it.

Lot of views, no replies. My conclusions:
1. No one else saw it (Show ran on 9/1)
2. Lots of people saw it, but either have no interest in Laguna Seca (hard to believe) or in S2000's being featured on a show about cool speed machines (impossible to believe)
3. Saw it, but thought it was no big deal
4. It was such an obviously well-known ultra-cool thing, that you are saving me the embarrasment of knowing I was the last to see it.
4. I'm on drugs and imagined the whole thing (possible)

Nevertheless............I enjoyed it!

What day and time is R&T tv on ? It was dropped in my area or the time was changed, I don't know. Used to watch it every week.

That's my wife with the Spa Yellow!

The show is called "Road & Track Presents: Ride of Your Life" so it's not really R&T TV...I think.

It'll be on again this Saturday at 9:30 AM Pacific time on the "Fine Living" channel.

We haven't seen it yet, just got a call from a friend who saw her on TV so we did some searching and found it.

We were at Laguna Seca for a track day and the camera crew was there and talked to her. Didn't know what channel it was for. Also, Road and Track was there that day with a Porsche GT2 for a road test. Pretty sweet car.

I would like to see this. Which network is it on? Is it on Speed Channel. Of course, we may not get all the cool shows out here in Hawaii.

It's on the "Fine Living" channel, part of DIRECTV. It's a newer channel and I haven't seen it on the cable networks yet.

Here's the description of the episode:
