Talking Finally, some track videos of my S2000

I finally have been able to run consistent 10.90-10.99s at the track. I figured I would get some video before I retire her for the winter

The first video is me vs an 04 Cobra. I went 10.92 @ 135 vs his 11.1 @ 117. The second video is me falling asleep at the light and having to play catch up against a 12 second Chevelle. The second part of the video is pretty cool as its the view from a GoPro mounted on my window.

Buddy made the videos, they are a bit of a hack job, lol

I have a 6 point, but I think over 135 you need a full cage.

I happened to stop at a light this afternoon and there was a Black S2000 next to me. The first thing I thought of was your videos.

Is that thing even still street legal? It looks like the plates are still on it.

And you smoked that Chevy, but did he jump the green? It looked like you were a little late coming off (if I'm looking at the right light) yet you still beat him easily.

I'm unfamiliar with racing. How do they pair up contenders? That Chevy must have outweighed you 2:1

I do drive it on the street ( occasionally) but technically with the 5 point harness and no airbag, it's not "legal". The Chevy left as soon as the light turned green, I was way late on the light but wanted to focus on the launch. That Chevy ran a 12.8 which is actually pretty fast, the S2000 stock runs like 14.5, I have molested my car to the point that it runs 10.90. So basically that Chevy would easily beat a stock s2000

Guessing the Chevelle had a big block underneath as well.

Still, well raced. That has got to get the adrenaline pumping.

How do they pair you guys up though? Next in line?

Choose off in the parking lot?

Basically they have two lanes and whoever is up next races each other. This was at a test and tune, which is basically practice. it's funny, a lot of the guys with Vettes and Porsches etc go out of their way not to race me (unless they know they'll win) lol. I guess nobody wants to get beaten my a Honda.

A lot of guys race for money but I stay out of it, people get all wrapped up in it, I just like wrenching on the car in the garage then see what she can do at the track, it's a lot of fun

It does sound like fun, for sure.

I had a guy in a Beemer take me on at a light. I beat him to the next. I said out the window at the stop "Wow, those Hundai's are faster than I thought."

He wasn't to happy with the comment.

Funny thing, I was in my crossover, and although it is quick, he had to have backed off.



Anyway, thanks for sharing Joey.
