I live in Wilmington NC, about 2 hours away from Raleigh. I was all amped up about attending my first NSXPO until i realized the outrageous prices. Can someone please tell me why it costs so much to have a big car meet? I was under the impression it was a cars n coffee for NSX owners only. I have no desire to track my car in virginia, or spend the night in raleigh, I just wanted to jet up there for a day and head home that night. Is it not allowed for me to just drive up there and park next to fellow nsx owners and scope out some other sweet cars?
what exactly does everyone do that makes this such a pricey event?
If i dont want to track my car, nor spend the night in raleigh, can i just register with NSXCA, and drive out and participate for a day? or is that a big no no or am i missing the point all together?

Ken that was a welcoming and informative post.
Luke,
I hope you can ignore any previous posts that may have had a bit of edge to them. The price comment has been made before. I get where it can be frustrating to some folks who know the amount of time and effort it is to put this together. As well as the angst at trying to put together an event that everyone will like and enjoy. Kind of like putting together a wedding where each attendee pays. Hard to please everyone and to make it worthwhile for everyone.
We do hope that you'll figure out a way to swing the registration fee. Having helped out a bit on some of the NSXPO's I know the organizers agonize over keeping the amount as low as possible. Some years it has been easier than others due to the amount of sponsorship dollars that are received. This year our local sponsors have been tremendously important in keeping the fee as low as it is (so thank them by supporting them everyone). We get that not everyone will be able to afford NSXPO. We hope that some may choose, like we have, to make it our 'vacation' each year. Whether it is flying to Portland, OR for it or driving to Toronto and in 2011 we only had to travel 15 minutes to NSXPO.
Yes 295.00 is a lot, but if you think of it as an (almost) all-inclusive vacation it becomes more reasonable: 2 nice dinners( 50 each for 100.00), 3 lunches (10-15 each for 40.00), karting (75.00), museum entry (12.00), Skid Pad Activities (75.00), Concours d'Elegance Entry (25.00), Technical Sessions by Larry B., Chris Wilson, Source One, and with fingers crossed, Steve Gooding (really quite priceless). Add in all those friendships everyone keeps talking about and it becomes downright cheap.
If the above isn't what you're interested in, then NSXPO probably isn't an event that you'd want to attend. There are some great Cars and Coffee events in Raleigh where NSX's attend. Perhaps you might even want to put together a single day short drive with lunch or even a local cars and coffee. You can do that either through Prime by posting or working with the NSXCA and Ole Sorenson, the Southeast Region Rep. If through the NSXCA you can send emails to members in your area about your 'event'.
I hope you'll choose one of these options and get the chance to meet more NSX owners.
Another member flies from Norway with his wife every year.
Hope to see you at NSXPO 2013.

Hi John and all
I suspect that the norwegian that flies out every year is me. (Since 2010 and beyond)
I am suprised though that I'm married. My gf was a bit suprised too. I told her that now when she was 95 % asleep and the only respons I got was that you guys owe us wedding gifts
(Probably my fault as I called her my spouse and spouse means I am married?)
To comment the question about NSXPO, price vs a C&C. I save up money through the year for my vacation to NSXPO. I plan my vacation around were NSXPO (wherever it is) is. It's the main thing I want to attend.
The NSX means so much more to me than probably anything I have. It's not just a car to me. It's the most importent thing to me next to my family.
I'v been down and out pretty bad after a snowmobile accident back in 2007 and the NSX has been my rock. I went to NSXPO 2010 as a tribute to my NSX how it kept me sane and pushing to get my life back and damn it's been rewarding. Meeting people I had only read about on Prime and feeling the comeraderi (<-spelling) has been just great.
I have attened a lot of C&C's here in Norway. But they don't come close to how I feel after a NSXPO. Yes I know I am really emotional attached to the NSX. Maybe this explains it: The way the NSX makes me feel going down the road in whatever speed I might have. That this is the best thing ever..bottle that feeling and then be with people that knows that exact feeling for a whole weekend. It does not get better than that.
Best regards

I'm in......
My car was tuned on the dyno yesterday and is all OK so I registered for the track event.
I ship the car to California in 2 days then I'll drive it to the NSXPO.
Can't wait for my first track event in the NSX!
I couldn't find the forms to be completed for the event. Are they available anywhere?
Great plan.
You are making me feel bad for not driving out from Edmonton.
Last year I really enjoyed the drive and the track event. This year I will be attending, but without the car :-(
I already regret the decision to fly out instead!
