Hello West Coast Primers!
On December 9, 2008, I started a thread in the SoCal subforum of the Southwest US Region forum entitled "Special NSX marque event at Irvine C&C". As of today, we have as many as 46 NSX owners who plan on attending this weekly car meet. I was able to reserve a special section for the NSX marque. Then, sicarius82, a Prime member, asked what the record is for an NSX gathering. I looked that up and found the following...
"A few months ago, 53 NSX owners turned off their Google searches and headed over to their own rendezvous in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The gathering was one of the largest of its kind in the Northeast and was a brainchild of NSX owner and NSXPrime.Com member Mike Lasko after Lasko visited the NSX Club of America?s (NSXCA) NSXPO event at Watkins Glen. Lasko, a Sales Manager at Bridgewater Acura, convinced dealer owner Bill Vince to host the event and then worked with other NSXPrime members and the NSXCA to produce the event. After almost three months of planning, owners from all over the Northeast and as far as Kansas and South Carolina packed their 5.0 cubic feet of trunk space (cavernous for an exotic) and set out for the Garden State. Beginning at 9 A.M., NSXs of all colors, model years, and modification level began rolling into the Bridgewater Acura lot. Lasko estimates that over 150 people took part in the meet, owners that were as diverse as the level of modification on the cars; owners that ranged from 53-year old retirees to 25-year old Lasko and from grad students to union electricians."
That event took place in August 2005. Looks like 53 is the number to beat. It took Mike Lasko, a dealership sponsor, and 3 months of planning to pull that feat off. Primers, with nothing more than this one thread and 5 weeks of email exhanges, we can surpass this number. So, I am making a prediction that we will surpass the current record of 53 cars. I also want to announce a rally call to see that we do establish a new record.
Let's shoot for 60! Pass the word. SIXTY (60) is the goal of the January 31, 2009 event at the Irvine Cars & Coffee. Yes, I will make an effort to notify certain organizations of our little gathering to see if any medial and/or sponsor coverage may be forthcoming.
"...Honda USA and/or Acura USA media coverage at the January 31 Irvine C&C event, nice. 60 NSXs at one place on the same day, priceless!"

Note: Looks like I was premature in believing the record was 53. A few individuals either know or believe the number is more like 100-150 from past NSXPO events. So, no world record, but perhaps a record gathering in the making for Southern California come January 31. Thanks for the good input, guys.
