La Folie is probably one of the better SF restaurants and is on Polk not too far from the Civic Center area. Near the Symphony & Ballet, Absinthe & Jardiniere aren't bad. Also, you can't go wrong with the dining room at the Ritz or Campton's Place. In the South Bay, Manresa (Los Gatos) and...

Saw a blue NSX at the SJ airport long term parking facility on Tues.

Saw a clean red NSX-T parked at the gas station/store at the intersection of HW35 (Skyline) and HW84 (Woodside) around 11:00 am Sunday along with a bunch of other interesting cars. I was on a carbon colored Colnalgo.

Sunday was a sucky day all around. Two cyclist killed by a Sheriff on Stevens Creek Canyon Rd., another few mowed down on HW 35 near Alice's restaurant by a woman turning right in front of a 30+ mph paceline (fortunately, no fatalities) - and now these poor scooter folks. I passed by the...

Saw a black NSX on West Alpine Road (past Skyline/HW35) on Sat shortly after noon. I waved - I was driving a carbon fiber colored Colnago... Also saw a white NSX on 280 south near downtown SJ in the late afternoon. License plate was BAD NSX. I was driving my hybrid and passed you on the...

Thanks for asking Carlos but it's Chinese New Year so unfortunately (vis-a-vis NSX stuff) I have to head out of town to visit with the family. I trust you folks will do the right thing nonetheless!

I'd be willing to support a formal "Silicon Valley" chapter, which could encompass SF et al. The "SF Bay Area" moniker is so last century...

They're usually quite competent. I bring my Zanardi there regularly. I recommend them...

I was 1.8 miles from the epicenter during the Loma Prieta quake. This time, I was a little farther out but Mt. Hamilton is still pretty close to Alum Rock, so I took a pretty good hit. Lost some crystal, have some cracked marble tiles, and an exploding bottle of Chalula hot sauce - what a...

BofA is bad, good, or great depending on your service level. Standard retail banking isn't especially good - but pretty much typical of retail banking. Premier Banking is much better - they send you birthday cards and Christmas presents, let you bypass lines, better rates on deposits (e.g...

Got an email from the webmaster of the IMSA site - it takes about 3-4 weeks to get the pictures from the photographer so the pictures will be up around mid-November.

Welcome aboard RNSX! Sorry I couldn't chat with you further, but the driving-in-the-opposite-direction thing made that difficult. Love your car - only the third Zanardi I've seen. Perhaps we can synch up in some other NorCal event. BTW, thanks to the rest of you for all the info. Reminds me...

I saw one other Zanardi at the ALMS event while we were staging for the parade lap. I spoke briefly with the driver in passing and I think it may have been #38? Anyone on this board? Any other Zanardis there?

Don't forget about picking the right tree to point the nose at when entering the corkscrew! I was a passenger and the driver wasn't particularly speeding, so no problems here! BTW, is turn 1 really a turn or just a jog left?

Agreed - Tom, thanks to you and all the NSXCA and Acura folks involved. Best, --twc

IMSA website, as I recall. http://www.imsaracing.net/ Might want to give them a few days to get them up.

Agreed - I'm taking the Z, come rain or shine...

Hi Ken, hope you've been well. Yes, I am taking the Z, but the parking pass that came with the tickets specifically states that "After 10:00am parking in the designated lots cannot be guaranteed." Don't know if that's a generic blurb and doesn't apply in this case, but I'd hate to be wrong...

The parking pass indicates that they can't guarantee parking if you get to Laguna Seca after 10:00am. What time would you folks suggest leaving to have a fair shot at getting in by then? (I hope that doesn't mean 6am!)

So I'm just interested in the parade lap and the main race which is much later in the day. Would traffic still be heavy after 10:00 or so?

I'm just attending Sat so I'll be driving down to Laguna Seca from Mt. Hamilton, San Jose. Anyone else driving down from the South Bay that day? What time might you suggest leaving? Thanks, --twc

FWIW, I just did a credit-card-camping road trip to Oregon/Washington last week. Threw the bike in the hybrid and did some cycling in the NW back country. Drive time from Portland back to Mt. Hamilton, SJ was about 9 hours flat, with only two gas/coffee stops. I'm sure you could do better in...

On the contrary - we should thank you for organizing. Was great to see some old friends that I haven't synched up with in years. --twc

Tom, do you have an approximate agenda for this thing? I might be cycling with some of the Sacto racer dudes in the morning but should be able to make it to the event before noon or so... BTW, I'm still a fully-paid-up NSXCA member!
