Otto,
sorry that you had to wait until the end of the day before getting a ride with me. I had a very long line of people wanting a ride. Somebody made a comment that I should have a sign up sheet for it.
Anybody took picture of the car? The car is Tom Chiarella's NSX with #6 on the door. We were sharing the car for the event.

Andrie,
No problem. While I was waiting, I did get to ride with other instructors. It was good to compare different lines and driving styles.

4 highlights of the event.
1> Driving Steve Howe's CTSC from SF to Infineon racyway. He was generous enough to swap cars with me. The sound of the SC is addictive to say the least. Power is strong, smooth and linear. Instead of down shifting, I can bring the RPM from 2k to whatever in a hurry. A big thank you to the doctor with a big heart!
2>The police escort from Sacto to Napa valley. Having a police wave me to go faster when I was going 95 already on a car pool lane without a passenger was odd. Normally, I would have gotten 2 tickets already.
3> A ride in Alex V's GruppeM SC car on the first track day. I never knew that our cars can do that. Making a track car show-ready is just impossible and he pulled it off beautifully. He's so smooth on the track at such speed is simply amazing!
Thanks Alex!
4> LAST BUT NOT LEAST, Managed to catch a ride from Andrie 10 minutes before I head back to SoCal completes the event for me. Not only he is an amazing driver, but he is friendly and helpful. The NSX community is damn lucky to have you in it. Thank you Andrie!

Yes, many thanks to Andrie who gave me a THRILLING ride.
Thank you for sharing.

What a fun trip!
I had such a blast at NSXPO, there are so many people to thank I don't even know where to begin. For starters, cudos to the NSXPO planning committee for such a fantastic event! Also, I want to thank Otto Joe, Powered by Honda, and Gerry Johnson--among many others--for generously offering me rides in their cars, as I did not have my NSX with me. It was so much fun hanging out with the California and Arizona NSXers, we definitely have to do a combined event sometime!
I've got about 3GB of photos and videos to sort and post, but unfortunately I have about a million things to catch up on at work. I'll be reading up on Prime and posting stuff in the next week or so, so stay tuned...
Hey Brian, beautiful pics! It was nice meeting you, and thanks again for the DVD!prova4re said:

I talked to Chris at SOS. He said the Carbon fiber hood, fenders, front bumper and new style lights will run in the ballpark of 4,500. Pretty good deal! Will did an excellent job on this kit. He's continuing to put out great stuff. Great job Will!

Friday pictures are up... http://www.nsxprime.com/Events/2003/nsxpo2003/nsxpo2003.htm
There are too many track photos to upload through dial-up so they'll probably have to wait until next week unless I run across a broadband connection before I get home.

They are all excellent pics. Thanks for sharing guys. I can't wait for next year NSXpo! Finally it's coming to East Coast!!!
DocJohn: I'm surprised - your wife is more beautiful than your car - and that is already very pretty! Stock or modified?
Why are you surprised?
It's not that DocJohn is or isn't ugly, but he has a NSX, isn't that aphrodisiac enough? Have you heard his NSX under WOT? The color scheme we won't discuss (parts of the car look great, which parts, I won't say) Yes his wife is more beautiful than the car, but don't be surprised, most owners of NSX's have attractive significant others, it's a requirement!!!

Aftermarket perspective
I prefer the OEM look. To anyone considering modifications of any sort, my answer is the same thing I tell my wife: "It's only original once." Why mess with perfection?
You have to look closely to find anything non-OEM on my 1991 car, which still has its original paint. But judging from the cars at NSXPO, a substantial percentage of owners of coupes really like the race car look. Personally, I think most of these modifications deface a beautiful car, but to each his own. And every car that's modified makes mine more rare.

Some people modify for more than its appearance. The NSX is not perfection...

Big Thanks!
It was a pleasure meeting you all face to face at NSXPO. We would like to thank all the event organizers and anyone else that made this event so memorable.

Only a small fraction of the attendees went on the group drives this year. But participation was up considerably.NetViper said:
According to the registration forms, there were 85 NSXs at NSXPO 2002, and there were 47 in the group photo.
According to the registration forms, there were 170 NSXs at NSXPO 2003, and there were 115 in the group photo.
It was great to see so many cars, and so many people - new faces as well as familiar ones. The best part of NSXPO 2003 is getting together with such nice people. I only regret that I didn't get a chance to meet everyone, and that I didn't spend more time chatting and socializing with those that I did get a chance to meet.
The Arizona group would have joined the drive, had their transport not gotten a flat tire.nsxtasy said:
I'm so glad I was able to go though, thanks to Otto and Conrad! 
Same here! I'm glad we finally got to meet though, and you are just as nice in person as on the computer screen!nsxtasy said:

There were two speakers after dinner. First was a representative from American Honda, talking about the car etc. Then came Marvin Lee, the stand-up comedian, who has posted here in the past. He was hilarious and included a lot of material about the NSX and the NSX owners at the event.cmarsh90 said:
I gave Marvin a ride around the track on Sunday...
Are these two pics somehow related???

No problem. You're welcome to ride shotgun anytime.

Cute!!!
But I do not drink. I do however drive off course on wet grass on slick Kuhmos
Gary, I came by to chat with you a bit about your wing on saturday. There was another man there who I think runs NSXBuilder. He mentioned about a quick easy method on installing the NSX-R front braces. I wonder if he can do a howto for that mod. It seemed to save a lot of time. Andrie mentioned he had installed 3 of them, but had to remove the bumpers for all of them.
It was also cool to put a face to all the different names I see here.... especially for those of you who are hardcore.
