Oyeah - I'm in. Got space if people need to crash night before and or of. Spare queen bed/fouton/air matress/2 couches. Another spare room if someone brings air matress as well. Big garage to shine 'em up in before the run also. Just let me know - you're all more the welcome. Jamie.

A problem at work is going to have me working more next month (e.g. on call). I was suppose to be off the third week and that's iffy at this point also. 
The quicker a date's decided the better my chances . . .

i would HIGHLY advise it Matt. When i got my car it has shitty tires on it. Figured what the hell so i took it took a big arse parking lot with some cones and taught myself not to be retarded. Or well atleast the best I could.
If you get the chance do it. It as well as driving with other S2000 owners on the Dragon my first trip up helped a lot. Should be great!

It's not really a speed thing, more of an acceleration in and out of corner thing. I taught myself on the dragon just going slow at first, and gradually progressing in and out of the corners. You'll get used to it, just go slow until you're comfortable. With a good set of tires, these cars hadle and stick better than I can drive anyway.
If you need some rubber to get you through, I'll work some type of deal with you. My extra rims and SO's should be here early next week. Got a really good tire dealer close to the house that can pop of my current set and throw them on your rims if you want. Jamie.
