I also wish they'd make it default "YES to donate" instead of "NO" to force people to actively revoke it.

I guess a supercharger actually doesn't help as much. I wouldn't expect more than 2 seconds on the first 2 long straights since they only got like an extra 80hp?
I think at calabogie they pulled off a 2:26. They got beat by a naturally aspirated FRS there. A good driver there in a stock s2000 would get low 2:30s. I've seen s2000's with na engines and just aero and suspension and tires do low 2:20s.
Here are the results for full track TMP if you are interested.
No s2ks
BUT there was a turbocharged F20C CRX http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...eel-Drive.aspx
But that car seemed to do very poorly... I am faster than it by 8 seconds on my stock car at bogie.

In the emerg, they're known as "donor cycles".
We should all really sign those cards bc they go to a good cause.

Made worse by A) getting out of your car - you risk getting hit, and what are you really going to do for the victim given the most likely injury is a spine or head injury and so the last thing you want to do is move him/her, and B) parking your car on the grass and risking a fire hazard.

CTMP, Calabogie, Mont Tremblant, Shannonville Pro... anything over TMP. There's better photos than the one you posted:
I can’t seem to link a facebook video, but the slow-mo of the launch control is currently at the top of our team page: [media]https://www.facebook.com/intheredracing?fref=ts[/media]
The event was far more than just laptimes. When we did the Concours d'Elegance, we got to hear some of the interesting histories of the vehicles and their drivers. There were some awesome stories involved. A barn-find Porsche 944 all original including the leather mirror covers, Aaron's incredible fabrication on the RWD CRX, the two valve "Old School" 700hp Firebird, the Father/Son Miata team, the drinking buddies in the M4, and more. One thing we all said at the end; we want to compete with the same people again next year, and just have more entries added on. It was a co-operative week; opposing teams sharing parts, tools, and even driving tips. It had the feel of a good Canadian performance rally where everyone worked well together in the spirit of everyone having a good event.
As a Georgetown Kinsman, we were running to raise awareness about how effective Cystic Fibrosis Canada has been at funding research and improving the lives of Canadians afflicted with the disease and their families. There are over 1900 variations of CF gene mutations and 1 in 25 Canadians carry a CF gene. Most Canadians don't know that, but the research and lobbying is making a difference in the lives of many patients. Today, 60% of CF patients live to adulthood where dying before kindergarten used to be the norm. http://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/ http://www.cysticfibrosis.ca/wp-cont...ONLINE-RGB.pdf
Someone posted Tires>Driver>Car, and I'd say for this one that aero played a good part of it, too. It was hard to get into the top three Time Attack slots without Aero. Team Scion #86 was on two sets of sponsored rain tires (Toyo R1R) that weren't optimal for dry track days with their horsepower and weight. Dave has thousands of laps on that track and would have extracted more if the package could offer it. Peter was great at moving that car around the slalom course. In the end, their consistency and always being near the top won the event for them. When comparing them to Team Slick (the N/A Scion), you should know that they were doing really well on grippy RE71-R’s for their wins.
For our heavy and high HP car, the Yokohama AD08R did really well. It was still coming in at the third TA hot lap and didn't overheat on the slaloms or the Time Attack sessions. But usually, one Time Attack session was all we needed to set a winning time, so we didn’t put extra laps on them. Might our car have gone faster on Pilot Sport Cup 2’s at $2500+ a set? Probably. But we’d likely have cooked the RE71-R’s in anything but autoslalom and the drag runs.
Team Slick beat us on Day 2's slalom. The Miata won both of the CTMP slaloms. Once we remembered that tire pressures matter for autoslalom,
we did better. Trevor had never competed in a slalom event before and won at Calabogie on day 3. I hadn't competed at slalom in years and never with a prepared car like this one. Once we adjusted our tire pressures, we won the remaining slaloms we entered.Grand Bend morning, the weather was changing constantly and the organizers flipped us from the drag strip (scheduled) to the track for Time Attack due to a wet drag strip. So we stayed on our worn and heat cycled lower tread depth AD08R’s instead of going to squirmy new AD08R’s and our qualifying practice times were good. Then the drag strip dried, and we went to start that event, but it poured by the end of the driver’s meeting, so we flipped back to Time Attack without enough time to put the full tread depth Yokes on. With no water evacuation, plus lots of toe out and camber, our AWD car hydroplaned down the back straight at 200km/h and placed only sixth while the Camaro (?!) won a wet event by throwing on fresh Pilot Sport Cup 2’s. We got caught out on tire strategy due to unexpected schedule changes and didn’t have time to fix it.
The Ontario 1500 points were set up for endurance; if you missed one event, you were probably done. When you compete regularly for years, you know that shit can happen. After winning all three time attacks at CTMP and CMP the first three days, plus a slalom on the third day, having an engine problem (as yet undiagnosed) at 3000rpm in transit to Shannonville sucked more than you can imagine. 1.5 days to be back with a swapped engine and we were competitive again; first in TMP Time Attack, two slalom wins at Grand Bend… not bad. Trevor and I (like most other teams) shared the drives equally while other teams had Time Attack or Slalom specialists. We collected 7 of the 16 FTD’s even though we missed 2.5 days. I forewent the last day of the 1500 (due to the points deficit) and went to CSCS instead.
Would we do it again? Hell yes! We had a great time with a lot of great people. We’d like to have more S2k’s out next time, so start your planning now!! Join us instead of wondering and posting ROFL icons from behind your keyboard.

So the winner was 1:18. 450whp WRX. And in typical Subaru fashion it blew its engine later in the event...

There were no s2ks though right? And thats what the concourse d'elegance is eh... I had no idea. Thought it was who looked the most elegant on the track or something
