Greetings to all NSX owners everywhere! This is the latest update on our plans for NSXPO 2001, which will take place in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, October 17-21, 2001.
As most of you know, NSXPO is the annual national gathering of NSX’s held by the NSX Club of America. Since the first event in 1997, NSXPO has featured some of the greatest race tracks in the world, including Mid-Ohio, Laguna Seca, and Road Atlanta. This year’s event will take place in Elkhart Lake and will feature the use of the world-famous, four-mile Road America racetrack ( http://www.roadamerica.com/ ) for a two-day track event.
Plans are moving along smoothly. We expect the event website to be up later this spring at http://www.nsxpo.com Event registration will start some time in late August or early September. At that time we will make the registration forms available on the event website, as well as mailing them to all members of the NSX Club of America. If you’re not already a member of the club, now would be a good time to join. For more information see the club’s website at http://www.nsxca.org
Elkhart Lake is a very small town located on the shore of picturesque Elkhart Lake, 60 miles north of Milwaukee and 150 miles north of Chicago. The weather in October is very pleasant, with normal high temperatures in the upper fifties.
The event activities are still being arranged, but several are worth noting, particularly for those who wish to start thinking about reservations for hotels and airline flights. The event will begin with a reception at the shop of Peter "P.D." Cunningham’s RealTime Racing in the Milwaukee area early evening on Wednesday, October 17. RealTime runs the championship leading Integra Type R’s as well as the World Challenge NSX driven by Peter. The race cars will be out, on their way to a race over the weekend, but Peter will be at the shop to host us.
The following day (Thursday the 18th) will include lunch and tours at the EAA AirVenture Museum of the Experimental Aircraft Association ( http://museum.eaa.org/ ) in Oshkosh. Optional rides in vintage aircraft at the museum will also be available. Friday will include seminars and a concours at the headquarters hotel, and the optional track event at Road America will take place on Saturday and Sunday. Full tech support at the track will be provided by Acura of Brookfield and their top-notch mechanics. Acura of Brookfield will also be making their facility west of Milwaukee available for NSX service and any other special needs.
For travelers flying to the event, Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport (one hour drive from Elkhart Lake) offers non-stop flights to cities throughout North America, and is the hub of Midwest Express Airlines, widely recognized for their first-class service at economy-class prices. Chicago O’Hare International Airport (two and a half hours drive) is a hub for United Airlines and American Airlines; in addition to its extensive domestic service, O’Hare has non-stop flights to most major cities in Europe and Asia. Chicago Midway Airport (three hours drive) offers bargain flights within the United States on several low-cost domestic carriers, including American Trans Air (ATA) and Southwest Airlines.
Our headquarters hotel will be The Osthoff Resort ( http://www.osthoff.com/ ), one half mile from Road America. Unlike more traditional accommodations, the Osthoff will provide our group with a sense of character during our stay; this is not a hotel, but rather, a luxury resort community. The Osthoff opened in 1995 on the shores of beautiful Elkhart Lake in the heart of this historic resort destination. Four seasons of recreation, breathtaking scenery and Old World charm combine with all the services and amenities one would expect from a contemporary resort hotel with a rating of Four Diamonds from the AAA.
The Osthoff is a collection of 174 condominium units available for rental. Each is a suite with one, two, or three bedrooms. Each suite contains a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, living room with fireplace and private balcony. Many have whirlpool baths. Suites range in size from 650 sq.ft. to 2,300 sq.ft. Because the two- and three-bedroom suites all have two bathrooms, we expect that many attendees may wish to share them in order to achieve a more reasonable per-person cost while still maintaining a measure of privacy. If any attendees wish to share a suite but don’t know anyone else willing to do so, the club will do our best to match up any such attendees we are aware of. The number of one-bedroom suites is limited and they will likely go quickly.
Our group rates at the Osthoff are $130-160 for one-bedroom suites, $145-195 for two-bedroom suites, and $190-255 for three-bedroom suites. Mention the "NSX Club of America" to ensure that you receive our rate. Reservations must be made by September 16, 2001. Please take note that it is your responsibility for making your own hotel reservation.
