DC/Mid-Atlantic Annual NSX meet is May 15
- Thread starter DCNSX
- Start date
Arg!!!!!!!
My attendance is now tentative
My birthday is the next day.
I am turning the big 40 :redface:
In addition, my wife's birthday is the 19th and she is making plans for us to go away for the weekend.
She asked me to pack a bag for 2 days and plan to leave after dinner Friday night.
I dont have the heart to tell her to cancel the plans because I want to go to the meet. :frown:

Howard,
I am not so sure I want to deal with driving the one lap NSX into VA again.
I feel very fortunate that we made it through VA without any tickets/jail time etc.
Is there an easy way in and out of the Dealership, highway?

Mike- from Elkridge, I would go thru Frederick and head South on Rt. 15 to Leesburg. From Leesburg you have two options- the quick way is to take the Leesburg bypass and then hit the Dulles Greenway (toll Rd.) for 9-10 miles and exit the Greenway onto Rte. 28 South. About 7 miles later you will take Rt. 50 East and the Pohanka Acura dealership is on your right, just past the first light. There might be cops on the Greenway and Rt. 28, as they are major arteries. But keep a front license plate on your dash and you should be okay. Option 2: To avoid those roads, just stay on Rt. 15 South thru Leesburg (take the bypass) and when it hits Rt. 50 you go East for maybe 10 miles? Once you go under Rt. 28 (the only bridge you'll pass under) the dealership is there on your right at the light.
We would DEFINITELY like to see this One Lap competitor at the event! :smile:

If you have MD plates, you wont have to worry about the front plate thing while in VA. Although once I did get pulled over in va for not having a tax sticker stamp on my window.
"Officer, as you can see from my plates, I live in MD, and they dont issue VA tax stamp stickers in MD" :smile:

Could you see if it would be possible for me to drop the trailer there friday evening in a secure location.
I am planning on going to Summit Friday just to do ~10 laps to test a few things, and to instruct for BSR.
I could drop the trailer on Friday night and come Down Sunday.
Then again I may just drive it down sunday so I dont have to deal with the trailer etc.????
Wouldnt it be quicker to go 95- 495 to 50 west?
I am only .5 miles from I95
How far out 50 is it?

It probably would be quicker to go I-95. (I thought you were looking for back roads). Take I-95 to 495 past Tysons. Take 66 West (about 5 miles) then 50 West (about 8? miles). Dealership is on your LEFT before you hit Rt. 28. Pohanka Lexus/Acura/Chevy dealerships are all in a row.
For trailer parking/security, contact Pohanka's GM, Lenny Gonzalez, directly for permission. Tell him about the car and that "Howard sent ya."

I still need a volunteer to lead the "spirited drive" portion of the event this Sunday. Any takers?? -Howard
I would volunteer, Howard, But I dont think everyone wants to be stopped everytime a cop see's us(or hears me from miles away). AS I said I am counting my lucky stars that I made it through VA and all the states without any tickets. :biggrin:.DCNSX said:
I think I should be able to make it. Anyone up for Karting afterwards?
Count me in too :biggrin:
Hey guys not looking good, we are on our 3rd launch slip. I will catch up with the crew next time. http://spaceflightnow.com/delta/d312/050513scrub.html
Weather forecast ain't lookin' too good ....... :frown:
Chris & others,
Are you going to go if it's raining?
I won't be there until between 12 - 1, but I'm not terribly excited to go driving in a thunderstorm...
We've had good weather for so many weekends, I'm hopeful that it'll turn it out ok for tomorrow.
Was looking forward to meeting some of the other local NSX'ers....

Michael,
I won't go if it's raining, but if there's a break in the rain and it gets sunny, I'll likely go. Just went to weather.com and it says the chance of rain is only 30%, so I'm trying to be optimistic too.

I had a great time meeting everyone - hope to see you all in a future event this summer and fall. Great to see Mike's OLOA car. What a monster SC. Thanks to Pohanka Acura for the hospitality and food. Even the weather wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Many thanks to Ponanka for hosting!
Next time, we will have to get a drive in.
