I don't know much about the mileage, but regardless, you'll need earplugs going down the freeway no matter which car you choose due to the wind noise... plus with the exhaust only on the right side of the S2K, you only have worry about the passenger burning their leg;) I have the weather kit for the S2K that Brian had built for me. Never put it on, except the windshield which I like (kit needs final assembly by upholster). I'm planning on more rollbar protection and would be willing to part with it should you go the S2K route. I put one of these in my fuel tank... haven't had a chance to get back on the track yet. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/category/Fuel_Safe_Surge_Tank_Collector

I like that set up!

Yeah, there's a mini tonneau cover. I think the last couple pics in the album show it.

Sorry, Loren is "WestTexasS2K" .... he's done the One Lap Across America a couple times in the S2K and has built several of them. For some reason the pics aren't attaching... you can click on my name and view my gallery. I put the trunk pic in there.

I guess it's a good sign that everyone seems pretty happy with the cars they have. I like that they're a bit larger than the Cats...though tiny compared to just about everything else;) Your not rubbing shoulders. As far as S2K fit; 6ft 1, 34 waist and my seat is too wide (passenger seat is perfect)... the pedals have lots of adjustment back & forth. The steering wheel is set kind of low and I've seen some guys with really small steering wheels for more thigh clearance. For long distance driving you'd definately need some more padding if the car comes with standard Ultralite seats. You'll probably have to stack some luggage on top of the rear section... like this site has http://www.softbitsforsevens.co.uk/ Earplugs with Ipod hook ups would be nice to have. Loren has done quite a bit of traveling/racing in a S2K so I know it can be done. There is a site on Yahoo for Ultralite owners, lots of fixes/upgrades Here's a pic of my trunk... though I've seen the tank in various configurations; taking up all the bottom, the front half etc...

Thought I'd post some pics of the guys at Buttonwillow today. Everyone was enjoying the day. I didn't stick around for the endurance race... look forward to hearing about it.

Nice... do you have any pics of the seats by chance?

Found this... no real purpose yet but might be nice to know http://www.youremblem.com/catalog/

My car has always felt a little too skitterish in the rear for me. It was super low when I first got it... raised it some and corner balanced it. Still didn't like the feeling (tried reducing the air pressure in rear tires for better feel). So today I threaded up the spring perch a half inch on all the shocks, giving me a tad more than that in ride height all around (and hopefully keeping it close balance wise). Man, what a difference! It's much more smoother and forgiving... guess I was riding too low in the shock stroke before. Perhaps it's not best for the track but it's a ton better on the twisty, undulating roads around here. Most fun (and confidence) I've had so far!

If interested... not much happening sadly http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_internet/globalbp/globalbp_uk_english/homepage/STAGING/local_assets/bp_homepage/html/rov_stream.html

Not that I can relate;)

Still got it... though I have to wear glasses;)

I just bought a 2005 Mini for my 18yr old daughter... been kind of impressed. Hope she don't need a full cage for it;)

It's police brutality, I swear.... http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=v7cbfaRRqn0

As small as a normal 7 is, you'd think someone would build a 3/2 scale;)

Understood... just thinking with all that power, in a straight line, it would be hard to get the quickest time without a little help. Probably should have a seperate class for "no driver assist" to identify the fast cars from fast drivers.

"self preservation" & a 600hp 7 don't go together;)

With that much power, what do you think about some kind of traction control system? Like this perhaps: http://www.racelogic.co.uk/

Some familiar ones... If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he doesn't like it, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Maybe someday I'll be good enough that flipping the shocks over will improve my performance;)

Welcome. Car looks pretty cool.... how do you squeeze past all those bars to get in;)

The other day I went to the Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions. I told the lady at the desk that I invented a folding bottle. She asked me what I called it. "A Fottle," I said. "What else do you have?" "A folding carton." "What do you call it?" "A Farton." She sniggered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude." I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket

I salute you... brave soul.

Very nice!!!
