I haven't been doing any motorsports events in the 944 because it developed a bit of a clunk when stopping at slow speed and the alignment wasn't what I wanted. I decided to get a fresh set of Konis and I'm glad I did since it turned out the old Koni front inserts started to have play in it. We reused the ground control coilovers that were already there and obviously the Racer's Edge camber plate that was also installed earlier this year.

For the final event of the S2K Takeover track season we ended it with a 2 day event at Watkins Glen. 2025 coincides with the 25th anniversary of the S2000 and we had a terrific turnout of 40+ S2000s. We also got blessed with incredible weather, sunny, dry and in the low 80s. Everything you could ask for, we got.

During lunch for the first day, we had had a parade lap so we could capture some epic photos that will be etched in our memories forever.
