    LOL!

    Thanks for the advice, but it would have helped to have known this at my first event......
    I learned this the hard way.....

    Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.

    Another great event by NTS2K. Fun and fast. 10 runs on a 80+ seconds course!

    10 runs!? How can you get 10 runs! I don't think I am that slow and held up everyone that we got only 8 runs when I was there!

    Too bad that I have to back out this one b/o stripped bolt of the slave cylinder!

    Turn out was lower than usual and S2K rocks. There were fun runs at the end too.

    Figures that a blown Stalker would show up at the first S2K this year that I have missed. How did it do?

    Don't know what kind of times he ran, but it was fun to watch! Really well done build and it sounded great!

    Nice pics, apex2apex. I think the fourth one really sums up MR -- a large tarmac with some great scenery.

    I did not see the Stalker's times, but judging from what I saw while working, he is still fairly new to this. I am thinking the car might have been brand new, too. The tires certainly were. I wished I could have spoken with him about his car, as it was very well built. It was a great looking car.

    It was too bad my allergies spoiled it a little for me. I was miserable all last night, too, and today is only looking marginally better. Such is life.

    Brad, thanks for letting me try your NC in a fun run. It felt really good and the engine had a very nice power delivery.

    Spins pretty well at highway speeds too from what I saw

    I thought it was a good event, 10 runs is a bit too much of a beating on the tires though. I also had a blast during fun runs driving the supercharged Elise, they sorted out the suspension and it's total night and day from the last time when I went for an agricultural adventure

    That back end wants to come around any time you let off the throttle. We think a front sway bar should help settle it down.

    As always the S2K folks put on a great event, I can't wait for the next one!

    Great event! It ran very smoothly and I can't wait for the next one.

    So this was my first time competing in a S2K and it was a great learning experience. We managed to get the car setup nicely on the new coilovers, but we were fighting terminal understeer all day. I'm guessing it was from too much stagger in tire sizes from front to rear and worn out fronts with new rears.

    While the S2K is a great car, I think I'll stick to owning Miatas in the future. Not to keep bashing the S2K, but the RX-8 brakes seem to be a good bit better.

    Good driving in S2K street tire Joe (I almost had you). Wow, POS, you must have been flying!

    BTW, AATees, on the S2K board is lucky he didn't extend his bet to Miata drivers. He would have ended up paying for 7 drivers in Miata street tire! Good job guys!

    Ya never do anything to the car without permission from the sponsor.

    Plus I showed up to the very next event.

    I have never seen any one bitch about getting to many runs at an autocross.
