By the way, for your routine of long haul driving, I'd recommend upgrading to the 200 mile range tow service from AAA. Great value.

I put it on early for the drive home...lolYou have a very good eye for graphics/photos! I did not notice that until you pointed it out. Some S2000's there actually had splitters that big...lol. Usually in Carbon Fiber. (Playful poking! No offense to my Honda friends! I love me an S2000!)

You mention to someone the rears are 325/30's and they say "Whattttt?". lol Monster steamrollers for sure. Pics attached from TH also good view of rear tire earning its keep. Whew!
Thanks! You know, stuff like that doesn't even bother me although I try very hard to avoid getting so far out of shape. Never happens when solo, always with instructor in car...and I am not fully focused.
That is a great Hot Tip regarding AAA- Thanks Adam!
All the colors look really good in person. Adam's white/red is stunning.
CW. Phil Hill to Sweeper into Esses, not Star Mazda. No Dog Leg, Bus Stop instead.
It is really something how beautiful the car is doing what it was built to do. Maybe a form following function thing. Whatever, a joy to behold.
That was a very good "off" ... nicely done .. keeping it straight probably saved you finding out what a tow home and a new ceramic rotor costs ... : )

Thanks! Yes, it was first time.
My info sheet is in the car which is in the shop so I can't remind myself of his last name, but from what he said that sounds like him! Great guy, good to work with. Very positive attitude. Thanks for the kind comments!

Thanks for the kind comments, I noted the S2000 body roll difference as well. I did flip the "stiff" button on and wish it was a bit more stiff to cope with the transitions a bit more smoothly. But I can fix that with driving style after I learn the track and can allow a micro second for the car to settle before new control input. No "bounce" at all with stiffie
I recall these cars are set up with more initial give, less initial stiffness to help keep tires planted on rough stuff. Then it is very stiff upon taking a set. So, a lot to be learned by driver to take what the car has to offer.
