The Number 90, King Motorsport prepared S2000 won the 30 lap National Race at Lime Rock Park on Saturday.

He beat his closest competitor, a Camaro, by more than 16 seconds and his third competitor (a Porsche Boxter S) by more than 34 seconds {over a second a lap faster}. I guess that will answer some questions that some of you may have had.

He also may have set a race record for T-2 with a race lap at 1:02.8


(By the way, T-2 is a class where the car is standard off the showroom floor with no modifications other than running DOT shaved tires --- 3/32nds tread).

Awesome!

I said it before in the Racing forum but I really think that we are learning how to drive the S2000 a lot faster than before. Expect to see some incredible results in the months and years ahead. Torque shmoque.

Very nice!!! Thank you for the news!

PS: Since this is "stock", I wonder what King Motorsports can do to prepare the car to make a stock as competitive as possible? I would think alignment would be big.

I live about an hour from king motorsports. They have a project S2000 they bored out to 2.2 liter and have some other mods. From what I understand, they aren't done with it yet. Hopefully they'll be able to do more with it, and bring out some more S2000 power!

Awesome! I love it when the S2k takes it to the Pony cars, and the Boxster "S" too!

Kristian Skavnes, who is campaigning the same car Tony Swan drove last year, also won T-2 at the April Nationals held at Summit Point.
