Damn, I knew this would happen! Now the waiting lists will be even longer. Another good secret bites the dust.

Did Summit Point hassle you because your helmet was higher than the roll hoops?

I'm not planning on racing (of course I haven't had a taste yet!), but I've been keeping and eye on what roll cages are available. So far the mugen roll cage on the king s2000 looks like the sturdiest, but requires serious interior work to install.

Always check brakes, wheels, brake lines and all fluid levels and safety belts before, during, and after the event.
Be prepared to burn some oil, my ITR will run through 1 quart of oil per 10 gallons of gas on a hot day at the track. It doesnt burn any if you stay out of VTEC on the street. Be prepared to need to top off your brake fluid as the pads wear down.
The s02's hold up rather well on the track if you are smooth and not too agressive -- I have a couple friends who run them both on the street and at the track on their 993's with no problems. Of course a set of cheapy kosei K1's and some yoko AO32R's or Hoosiers is always fun -- throw in a set of Porterfield R4S pads as well for endurance.
Start slow, let the speed come slowly, at the end of the day the fastest students are always those who did not let ego get in the way and slowly increased their speed while maintaining good lines and smooth transitions.
