I was wondering how many here would be traveling to NSXPO'05 and how. I'm still undecided on whether I will attend (still no car!) and want to see what type of dedication others are going to have for an event so far away from us.

If not I may just drive...

I've found quite the opposite to be true. I've been to all eight NSXPOs - five with my NSX, and three (the most distant ones) without my NSX. I have found that the only thing I was really missing without my NSX was driving in the track event. And yes, if this is the only thing you care about, then I can see how the above statement might be true. But I've enjoyed so many other things about NSXPO - the ability to meet and chat with all the members from all over the country (making new friends as well as renewing previous friendships), the great food (the food really is quite good, comparing favorably with other group events), the scenery on the drives (there are always lots of folks with empty passenger seats who are happy to provide rides on group drives and between venues, and this is another way to meet and chat with owners), the fun activities, the great mementos, the pleasant surprises, etc. And I've been able to enjoy all of these things just as much without my NSX at the event as I did with my car there.brahtw8 said:Without my NSX, there doesn't seem to be much point in me going to NSXPO. YMMV.

There are probably as many reasons to go to NSX as there are people going. So each of us must think about why we might or might not want to have our NSX there, and whether it's worth attending without our own car. Based on past experience, for me, it's a no-brainer; I will be flying to NSXPO 2005 and leaving my NSX at home.
Am also planning to ship/fly... Tim is looking into possible truck arrangements, as documented in another thread.jorligan said:Count me in as well for ship/fly.
