Ken, thanks for setting this up. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!

**Juice** · 04-06-2012, 17:18

Should be free on that day...hope I can make this. It'll be my first time

**ROCKFORD_NSX** · 04-10-2012, 06:40

looking forward to it

**SOURCENSX** · 04-20-2012, 07:52

Bump this up. We have a good amount of people signed up but would still like more!

**lsnsx** · 04-23-2012, 12:41

I got my NSX at the end of last summer and would love to meet with everyone. I've met Ken a few weeks ago when I bought something from him. Unfortunately, I've got plans for dinner already. I'll probably swing by before cocktail hour for a few minutes to meet everyone. BTW, my name is Lenny '92 Berlina Black.

**shogunnsx** · 04-27-2012, 14:51

Count me in 1 for now. Jeff

More than likely yes, I ordered some street wheels and tires for it just to be able to make the trip up. The R888 would have been bald by Indy

Today's the deadline - last chance to sign up!

Hey, anyone want a nice deal on synthetic 10W30 motor oil for his/her NSX? I have eight quarts (two of Pennzoil Platinum and six of Mobil 1) and I no longer have a car that uses that viscosity. I can bring it with me to the dinner. Send me a private message!

Ken- I wish I did not have a conflict for the dinner hour. Would really like to meet more fellow owners of this fine machine. I may be able to get away in time to meet some of you in the lot post dinner. Will there be a particular place where the cars will be gathered and if so any plans to hang for a bit after dinner? -joe

In the past, people usually have a leisurely dinner, then hang around afterwards in our room a bit. If you can't make it in time for dinner, you can try stopping by our private room upstairs in the restaurant, just to hang out and chat after dinner with whoever's still around when you get there.

**SOURCENSX** · 06-09-2012, 21:01

Great meeting everyone tonight! Had a wonderful time meeting new people and seeing some old friends. Thanks to Ken for setting it all up!!

**OhioSteve** · 06-10-2012, 06:13

It was fun to see everyone and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and camaraderie. Thanks Ken and anyone else involved in setting up the meeting and location. We're looking forward to next year's already.
