Just Returned from EESCC’s Willamette Pass Auto-X 2009 Event
And I am exhausted. Though we did not have to camp, it was a very full weekend. Both courses this weekend were really fast. As is the usual flavor of EESCC events at Willamette Pass the courses featured long slalom sections and many chances to brake hard and accelerate hard. There were a few unfortunate crashes, but in all cases the damages were minimal. There was even a wide-body Fiat with a rotary motor! In other news the S2000 competition was fierce on day two, I’ll post more on the event soon.

RE-01Rs and -1.5 degrees of camber A-OK in Heavy Rain
Just took a drive out in these thunder storms, there were healthy doses of standing water, heavy rain drops and uneven pavement. The tires and alignment were quite good in the rain. The car tram-lines a bit going through standing puddles of water but I still feel very much in control. Great success! –Gabe

I just learned I’ll be joining Gabe for a track day on June 5th at Portland International Raceway. I’m very excited to get the S2000 in an environment where it can really show off! Let the grudge match begin…

Check out Modifry.com for your S2000 Electronics Needs
Since my S2000 isn’t in need of any immediate repair, I’m already looking at little upgrades. A good head unit that plays MP3′s has been on my radar recently, until I recalled the S2000 dash operations for the stereo. Most aftermarket head units will render these controls useless. Then I found the Modifry website, which is run by a hardcore S2ki.com forum member, who provides innovate and cost effective solutions for S2000 owners. One of his most recommended products is the Dash Control Interface (DCI) that allows certain aftermarket head units to work with the dash controls. I highly recommended checking out his site if you’re thinking of adding an aftermarket stereo to your S2000 — or just poke around and see what he has to improve an already great car.
