Around two dozen Seattle area NSX fans met on Saturday, April 27th to participate in Park Place's first ever, NSX Poker Rally. David Crenshaw, the host and event organizer, explained a nine station poker rally, in which NSX drivers and navigators would acquire their best poker hand by visiting a minimum of five card stations scattered across the scenic countryside in Washington's scenic Snoqualmie Valley.

The day kicked off with some introductions, the car lineup, general browsing and admiration, and a look at a souped-up NSX provided by Chris of Science of Speed. After the rules were explained, questions answered and a few appropriate promotional mentions made, the cars took of in one to two minute increments.

A scant hour and a half later, all eleven NSX's and one participating Porsche, had returned to Park Place with cards in hand, and a pack of tales to tell. Awards were presented for best poker hand, fastest time, slowest time and for a variety of other fun variations that insured all participants walked away with something nice.

A hot dog and burger cookout closed out the day along with a final group photo and some great memories.

A big thanks to David Crenshaw--who can hook up any NSX fan with a great car--and to the other folks at Park Place for putting on a nice event. I believe I can say on behalf of all who attended that we look forward to the next NSX rally!
