We were lucky and never had to stop more than a moment at any of the construction sites because we were out there so early. They were doing seismic retrofits on the bridges. I believe the black car is Bill Muirhead.

At the first turnout along the drive. I'm in the green on with the sticker on the front windshield. The "two tone" car behind it belongs to Chris Sterne' (AZ).

The rest of the cars at the turnout.  The car with two stripes is Randy Marchetti (AZ).

Parked in a circle at another turnout.

Another angle of the shot above.

Light fog hanging over the ocean.

Note that the third car back is at a 90 degree angle to the rest of us... Chris Sterne' has a minor spin. Luckily nobody (including the car) was hurt. David Nguyen's excellent video shows the spinout from the car-behind perspective. The car barely rolled into a minor ditch but luckily a highway work truck just happened to be driving past and gave him a quick tow back onto the road.

Keith Jarret (CA) was our run group leader and said this is his favorite valley along our route. Very scenic!

Moving right along through the back roads... This picture of course was taken on a dyno machine and not on the road because obviously this was not our typical speed along these roads since that would be illegal. And certainly nobody ever hit 145 on a straightaway using nitrous...

Bathroom break! A few of us headed back to the hotel at this point in order to have time to wash our cars before the 17 Mile Drive photo ops. Thanks to Keith Jarrett for organizing this part of the event and sorry we had to cut out a little early.

Back at the hotel... Quite a few new people arrived throughout the day and evening.

The first stop along the 17 Mile Drive through Pebble Beach.

Cars at the first stop.

Red NSX at the overlook.

Group shot at another stop. Shigeru "Speed" Takemura (Japan) was my passenger during the 17-mile drive. He's standing on the far left in this photo.

Another stretch of the 17 Mile Drive

Over-the-shoulder shot taken right after the one above.

There was a professional photographer taking pictures of people and their cars along the beach during the 17 Mile Drive. Everyone received their photos as part of the event. Nice touch!

A day at the beach...

This is called Bird Rock.

Because it's totally covered with birds! Each of the dark spots is a bird. I will leave it to you to figure out what all the white stuff completely covering the rock is...

More rugged coastal scenery

Bird on a rock. Squirrels in the background.

There were a dozen of these squirrels hanging around. They would come up to everyone and beg for food. Other than that they just lay around on the rocks and soak up the sun. This one's eating a piece of hard candy somebody gave it. Pretty tough life.

When I say "beg for food" I'm not exaggerating. Look at this thing!

Bird On A Rock II

I call this one "Bird On A Rock III." Surprised?

The only problem with all these birds is that an hour after you wash the car.... Of course I'm the ONLY person this happened to in our entire group. The birds ganged up on me and nailed the front, front windshield, top, engine hatch glass, trunk, rear spoiler, drivers side door, and drivers side rear quarter panel. What did I ever do to them to be singled out like that?!? Stupid birds.

Cars cars cars.

Back on the 17 Mile Drive route

Still driving.

More scenery!

The Lone Cypress, which is the official logo/symbol of Pebble Beach. Someone tried to burn it down a while ago so you aren't allowed to go out there anymore. Why would someone try to burn this tree down? People amaze me.

Line of cars at the spot where we stopped to see the Lone Cypress.

Another angle of the line of cars

Lone Cypress again

Oh yeah, you can play golf here at Pebble Beach too!

Bird On A Railing (don't worry, it's not the first in a series like the Bird on a Rock shots...)

Shot from the end of the pier.

The Lodge at Pebble Beach. Hey, what's that in the side mirror?

More NSXs parked at a turnout on the 17 mile drive

Being good Samaritans the NSXers went to investigate and see if they could provide assistance..

Well what would you know, they just happened to be professional models over from Sweden. Since they were in between photo shoots they agreed to take a few pictures with the cars.

The guy running the show got upset and was worried the nice upstanding NSX owners would try to sell the photos without having paid any modeling fees. He finally agreed that more photos could be taken as long as the owners got in the pictures with the girls so the resulting pictures couldn't be sold.

Chris Willson conveniently edited the NSXers out of this photo with PhotoShop!

Down at the marsh/lagoon/beach wildlife preserve area of Pebble Beach.

Ferrari 512.. Hey that guy's got twice as many cylinders as me! Doh!

The minivan rented by the 5 gentleman who came from Japan to attend NSXPO. It was quickly christened the "Windstar Type-R" and sported a nice NSX flag!

NSXCA president David Hwang (MD) speaks briefly during dinner at the hotel. There were 28 tables of 10 and very few empty seats. More people arrived later and some more will be coming on Saturday for the track event only. Quite a turnout!

Some folks deciding what to do after dinner. One group went to San Jose, another went for a nighttime drive. I went down to Cannery Row and checked out some local nightspots with Dan O'Haver (MI), Tom Croly (GA), David Nguyen (MD), Brian Ledvora (FL) and Scott Edwards (FL).

The hotel also has a Pizza Hut right next to this game room. I went over and stole a slice of pizza from Doug Hayashi (CA), then it was time to do a website update and get some sleep!
