NSXPO 2003 pics from akira3d (not 56K friendly)

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:29

Bear with me...though I'm only posting a small sampling of Valerie and my photos, I plan to upload nearly 70 pics in this thread (one post at a time)!

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:32

Early Wednesday morning, our mini-caravan waits for Jon near the 405 in Culver City.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:33

Valerie has done a great job of squeezing 9 days worth of stuff into the trunk (wish I took a picture of how she packed for our return trip...we had no idea that our NSXPO registration included two large bags of car care products, t-shirts, and sweaters so we ended up using the roof cover for dirty laundry).

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:35

We stop for breakfast at an IHOP in Valencia, figuring it would give Alex V a chance to catch up with us...but Alex just woke up!

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:36

From left-to-right, Valerie, Dean (hashiriya), Jon, Phil (SILLYNSX), and Sylvia

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:37

Gotta love driving up the 5.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:42

Since Valerie and I have plans to return via the coast, we chose to head up to NSXPO via the shortest and quickest route.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:43

Dean demonstrates how straight the 5 is between L.A. and San Francisco.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:46

We arrive at the Embassy Suites in San Rafael early in the afternoon...many more NSXers arrive as we get settled in.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:47

We register for NSXPO as the moon rises over San Rafael.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:49

The next morning, NSXPO attendees prepare to depart for Sacramento.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:50

I've never seen so many heavily modded NSXs in one place before. (Okay, okay, so I've never seen so many NSXs in one place before)

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:51

We arrive on schedule at RPM Indoor Kart Racing.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:52

This is MYNSX...not my NSX.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:53

Dali Racing NSX.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:55

Competitive indoor karting...very similar to Dromo 1...and a lot of fun. I take first place in my first race, last place in my second (and last) race.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:57

Valerie and I climb on the roof of the facility for a unique photo op.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:58

The view from the roof is amazing (I will upload a panorama of the parking lot when I'm done with it).

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 20:59

After karting, we caravan over to nearby Comptech.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 21:00

Inside we find many Comptech modified cars including this NSX powered racer.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 21:02

Here's an NSX on a lift.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 21:03

Here's a mod that's not offered by Comptech (as far as I know)...any guesses why this car's license plate says "KITT KAR"?

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 21:05

Randy (FuryNSX) stands with our police escort. The CHP definitely made our drive from Comptech to Napa far more entertaining...I couldn't stop giggling as we drove through red lights, entered an empty freeway, and *legally* exceeded the speed limit.

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 21:07

Napa Valley Grille serves the best meal of NSXPO (too bad the portions are so damn small). From left-to-right: Valerie, Sylvia, Mark (NSX-Ster), Amy, Jon, Dean, and Alex (or Cliff?)

**akira3d** · 10-21-2003, 21:09

Representing San Diego NSXers, Kenny (K2), Randy, Peter, Conrad (Powered by HONDA), Scott (ss_md), and Linda.
