Show stoppin'

As PJ says, show stoppin'. It seems to happen whenever he takes the S2000 out. Tonight was one of those nights, a meet at the local A&W.

If you could drive a car for just a day?

This is definitely on the list. I know nothing about Mercedes, but this thing has so much presence to it.

Patriotism

Every country has it's heroes, and I think it's important to hold these people in high regard. It might not seem appropriate, but in which room do you spend the most time looking at the wall? The bathroom.

James Madison is significant to me, and that's why I was stoked to see this.

Let there be grip!

The Advan AD08's I've been running this year are doing phenomenal. Awesome wear and traction, and a slip angle that allows you to drive a little sideways, just the way I like.

Here is day one and today. Just a hint of scallop on the back of the tread blocks.

Solo Event #2

The temperature is climbing already in the Nevada desert, turning our windswept runway into a block of scorched tarmac.

The day was also a farewell. PJ is leaving for Vegas before the next event, and so it was a last hurrah to see what his S2000 could do.

The session started with the battle in STR between Bart, Tim and myself resuming, our position and fast times swapping by the run. The session ended with PJ setting the fastest time of the day. The slick and pebbled surface that normally favors the AWD cars couldn't stop PJ.

In the end PJ's time was edged out by less than .1" by a modified Corvette.

When the dust settled in STR it was:
1 - Bart
2 - Derek
3 - Tim

Slow Mobile in action

It was actually the Ferio holding up people, but I'm not going to lie, my Miata had just barely got by when this photo was taken.
