NSXPO are you driving there

Are you going to NSXPO? Are you driving there? Are you driving from the Midwest?

I am thinking about driving from Wisconsin and am looking to travel with a group or at least one or two other cars. If you are thinking of driving the 2000mi to NSXPO PM me.

From KC

I am planning to leave KC early on 10/6. I see myself going via I-80 or to Denver via I-70 then I-80.

Likely; however, cannot commit until mid-Sept, yes, yes.

I have decided not to go to NSXPO, just not in the budget for this year. See http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=19825

I am planning on leaving Cleveland, OH 10/5 in the am/early afternoon. Picking up I-70 in Columbus, stopping in Boulder area for <1 day, resume to NSXPO is my tentative plan.

Do you plan to overnight in Boulder? Do you plan on I-80 from Boulder?

 

[john576]

I (we?) plan to take at least a long power nap, likely overnight it in Boulder or just outside in Lafayette on 10/6. Travel from Boulder to NSXPO via I-80 appears to be our desired (quickest) route.

I would think that the quickest route would be on I-80, which doesn't even go into Colorado...

 

[john576]

I have a friend (also a car nut) that has just confirmed he will be making the trip with me. Coincidentally, we both have family in the Boulder area, so stopping there is in order. However if anyone is leaving from the East/Midwest we could drive out together and catch up with family on the way back home. The main reason I was planning on taking I-70 over I-80 is due to smoother road conditions in OH, IN, and IL...well the Loveland pass is always fun to pass through too

Hi Midwest NSX folks,

I am considering alternatives for shipping my NSX roundtrip from Chicago to NSXPO and would like to know how many others may be interested. If we can fill a transport we can get a better rate -- something on the order of $1,000 roundtrip. It may also be possible to establish other pick-up points in the Midwest and still get a deal of some sort.

Please send me an email if you're interested - [email protected]

Thanks,

Bryan

Brian,

Are you still organizing a group from Detroit?

 

[prova4re]

I am still trying to figure out if I am going to drive or fly. Are you interested in going?

 

[MarkB]

Sorry John & Brian, my plans have changed to include a 'spirited drive' with the Phoenix guys on the 4th. From there I will be going to NSXPO.

 

[PaynNSX]

I'd like to...schedule changes day by day.

Cleveland-->San Rafael

Our tentative plan is:
10/3 Cleveland to Des Moines via I-80
10/4 Des Moines to Badlands/Mt Rushmore area via TBA
10/5 Badlands to Yellowstone via TBA
10/6 Yellowstone to Salt Lake via TBA
10/7 Salt Lake to San Rafael via I-80

If wintery road conditions exist the Des Moines to San Rafael route will be redirected southward.

10/13 We begin the homeward journey. San Rafael through Death Valley, (Rt 9, 89, 12) Bryce Canyon, Grand Jct, Boulder, KC, St Louis to Cleveland.
