Hey guys just poppin in to let you know how I did at RTA.
I ended up 4th after a hard fought battle with my buddy Matt Denison, losing the podium by .150 of a second.
No excuses its my home track, however it would be nice to have another 50 whp and the nicer dampers both robi and matt where running (robi came in first with his 400+ whp station wagon subaru lol)
But something good did come out of this as my really good friend and extremely talented Thomas Smith came in second with his STi.
Overall it was a great time and minus the LICP coming of in my first TA session I had no issues with the car and I am happy to say that many S2000 guys where envious of tail out antics in practice.
I had alot of fun and it was extremely hot... tires would go off after 2 laps, I overheated the car in the last session of practice but all is well.
I was a little bummed that i didnt podium, but I did finish 4th out of 36 in the stock class so not to bad.
anyways here is a few photos...
Ill be out next year at some of the west coast events with slightly more power and optimized setup.
I want to thank everyone that has ever given me a hand with anything in town.

That's my car. You can show me the badness anytime you want :P i'll just roll up the windows and continue on. If you wanna wave, I'll be more than happy to return the love.

on a side note with the sudden down turn in the temps outside i have seen quite a few more evos out than normal.
