Fair enough. Most important is to just get out there and drive.

Chuck! How are you man?

You got to drive my car balanced to you. How did it feel?

When I rode with you it felt great. Man I didn't know it could handle so good. I agree that you just need to get instruction to drive your call well and then practice, practice, practice. After that you tweek it to the best you and your car can be. That includes corner balancing. Chuck you believe in what it can do or you wouldn't have put in the 3 hours it took of your time to do it!

Oh I didn't know this was your screen name. Yep, the S2000 felt great! Driving it required a completely different style from what I'm used to but man was it fun. I'd love to do it again this year and this time see what kind of lap times we can knock down.

For those who don't know, Jeff (scharged) let me take his S2000 for some Sebring laps a few months ago. We had a few bugs to work out (normal) but it didn't stop us from having a great time.

Are your ready to mortgage your house, sell the kids and pimp the wife to devote your life to road racing now?

Good times!

I charge $300 for the corner balance and alignment. Adding suspension parts like camber bolts or 350Z's rear camber prices will change.

The Schargd came from when my S2000 was supercharged. I saw the light and went turbo for a 100plus extra horses.

The laps we had were awesome!!!!

The baby is running great now and ready for fun.

The next event for my car is going to be in the parade lap at the St Pete Honda Grand prix.

After that all is game.

S&R has done quite a bit of alignment/suspension work for me and they always get it dead on. I'll be going in again soon since I can't stop throwing parts at the car.

Gotta own a S2k usually. One of my customers did it the first year it returned a few years ago.. He was contacted by some dealership he bought parts from or the car he gt it from.

Sorry, you have to have a S2000 or a Ridgeline. Thus the Honda Grand Prix Part.

It is funny for the first two years of the St. Pete Grand Prix my car was displayed at the Makes and Models booth. Then last year in the Parade lap with Major Baker riding along. Damn he is tall!

This year I am doing the parade lap again. It is a fun event, mainly because the S2ki gang gets an RV and parties for three days.

Next year I know I won't get in.
