The NSXCA continues its support of a very special cause - Kids' Day at Watkins Glen. This year we had the honor of being invited to the Camp Good Days campgrounds to have a bbq with the children and the counselors.
The torrential storms held off long enough for us to drive over to the camp on the lake and watch the children come running over, squeeling with delight just like our tires on the track, and pick out their favorite color NSX. A very noisy "symphony of horns" ensued as they took particular pleasure sitting in the cars and honking more than a pack of canadian geese.......
One of the highlights of the evening was the surprise presentation by LarryB of a check from his employer, Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA, Inc., to the President of the Camp. Thanks to Konica Minolta, and some of it’s close business partners, Equitrac Corporation, Prism Software, Pharos International, Gibbons Law, Sharon Umhoefer, as well as an additional supporting donations from our NSXCA members and Trackmasters, we have made a lot of children very happy. As the Camp President said, "no family affected by cancer should have to decide between making a car payment or sending their child to camp - - - all our campers go for free thanks to donations from very generous and caring individuals and companies."
We will be taking them out on the track today for "parade speed laps" which when it comes to an NSXCA event will involve a very "spirited" triple digit "parade".............
Here are some shots from last night.
And we made this truly a family event by DocJohn and Trish bringing along their two adorable rug rats to accompany our track rats........
