Man this is going to be fun! I'm going to enjoy going to these events.
The NSX getting some nice attention at these races via the corrals is so cool.
Thanks NSXCA, ACURA, IMSA and LarryB!
Applause!
 
Great work El Presidente!

I am heading down to the Sebring event this week and am looking forward to Lime Rock as well. Keep an eye out for our NSX parade lap at Sebring which is supposed to be aired on Speed next Saturday.
 
Lol, Bob Yes I heard Speed was going to have a spin off reality show based on your parade laps! BTW these are just another good reason to be a member in good standing of our nsxca,thanks to all involved.
 
Awesome! I would like to go to the Laguna Seca one. :biggrin:
 
Count me in for Road America. You may recall I was chomping at the bit a few months ago when the rumbling started for the Canadian events.

Let me know if there is anything I can do. I would love to volunteer to help with the event. I helped run the 2006 Badger Bimmers ALMS event at Road America, which was very well received and had strong participation from BMW NA, IMSA, Team PTG and a local dealer. I have good connections with the local Acura Dealer as well. I can set up chairs or do registration, whatever.

I will be doing double duty with the Badger Bimmers. We are moving and upgrading the BMW area at Road America this year. It is now on the outside of Turn 14 along the front straight as you go up the hill.

Either way, I'll be there with my NSX. This is going to be a great event all around!
 
Any chance we can get the Utah Grand Prix added to this list? Pretty please?
 
What, no Petit Le Mans on the list at Road Atlanta???? Come on, there always is a Porche corral, Corvette corral a Ferrari corral and others. Surely we could manage an NSX Corral! Pretty please! Dewain chime in here anytime! :biggrin:
 
If anyone lives near one of the ALMS races where Acura is sponsoring a corral, this is an event you must attend. The hospitality was great, the Acura guys were fabulous, and everyone who was there had an awesome time. For the race next year, hopefully Acura can get us access to the suites above the pits. I know they will be expecting an even larger turnout for the Sebring 12hrs.

I also have to congratulate Acura for their stellar inaugural finish: 1st, 2nd, & 4th in class, and 2nd & 3rd overall. I think Audi now has something to worry about. :wink:

This is a wonderful offering -- great that Acura/Honda are getting behind their teams in a big way. Thanks for organizing -- looking forward to Road America in August.

At the Sebring 12 hour race, I noticed they also had parade laps with NSXs -- are these an option we can pursue as well ? I arranged these a few years back with CART.

At Sebring, we did get all the above with two TV's in the hospitality tent, and they handed out very nice cases with the items seen below. We were treated like VIP's

There were talks of this happening at the Mosport track in Toronto, but I guess thats off the list now.

:(
 
Hi Ken,

You will be getting registration forms through Tom Kohrs when registration is open. Since the has a signup "window" for NSXCA members, the registration notices are scheduled.

After the signup window closes, if the event is not filled by NSXCA, Acura will open it to all NSX owners. We have made arrangements for 100 NSX's and 200 total attendees for Laguna Seca:). It would be great if NSXCA fills it.

Regards,
LarryB
