NSXPO here we go!

Lud,

Great pics man, thanks alot!

Got to see some of Mark Hicks, Romeo and Charles Hudsons car.

What ya think of Romeos Cooler? nice! very NICE!
he's making 425+rwhp

looks like much fun!

tell Mark, Romeo, & Charles that Mike says hey for me...

Cant wait till they get back to hear all the stories
 
Just uploaded a few pics. Unfortunately this track, while quite fun to drive, does not lend itself to photos with my point-and-shoot digital camera with 3X zoom. It is a club track, not a spectator track. I posted a few pics, but the good ones were taken with my 35mm SLR that had a decent telephoto lens and will be posted as soon as I get them developed. The same will be true tomorrow. Hopefully TMS will have better photo ops.

Again it's late and I have to get up in 6 hours to go drive the track again, so for now just some quick-and-dirty pictures. More / better pics and write-up to follow.
 
Hey guys,

I would like to come out and watch people race around the track. Is there any way I can pay for a ticket to watch or anything? I could come today or tomorrow.

Please let me know a good place and time to come so I can see you folks...if that is allowed.

Come to Texas Motor Speedway tomorrow between 9am and 5pm. Enter the infield through the south tunnel. You'll need to sign an insurance waiver to get into the track.

I had to leave early, but not before attending the first day of the track event- one of the best days at the track that I have ever had!! I came away completely fatigued, but with a HUGE smile!! : )

The police (and helicopter) escort to the stockyards the day before was a great experience. I quickly got used to having the motorcycle cops stop traffic from entering the freeway onramps when we were on I-35, then having them block the surface street intersections and allow us to run all the red lights we want! I am forever spoiled now. It stinks now, having to obey traffic laws like the rest of the public! : )

It was great to see old Texas friends once again. It’s now their turn to come to California next year for NSXPO 2003.

A big Texas-size thank you goes out to this year’s NSXPO organizational team for putting on such a great event! Let’s just hope that Brent changes his mind and decides not to sell his NSX!!

Congratulations to Wei-Shin, David , Tom, and Eric on their new positions.

Lastly, Id also like to second the special recognition (and award) Lud received at the dinner party for his efforts in creating and maintaining NSXPRIME!

Thanks for the directions!

I just got back from TMS. I had a great time watching everyone go around the track.

Hopefully I will be able to go next year with my own NSX!

I've gotten enough requests for this that I need to address it publicly.

What helicopter? :)

We made some promises in order to get the videotape from the police helicopter in our hands. I currently have the only copy and when we figure out the right way to honor our commitments, we'll get it on the Internet for people to see clips.

I would just like to say that NSXPO 2002 KICKED ASS! It was incredible. Those of you that did not make it and lived in 8 hours driving distance... shame on you! It was a total blast!

Big thanks out to Eric for making everything so excellent. It was great to finally meet you.

Congrats also to Wei-Shin, David , Tom, and Eric on their new positions in NSXCA.

I guess this means Wei-Shin will have to post here more often

Special thanks to Lud for letting me drive his AMAZING car! -- and since I did not wreck it, you can't ban me
smile.gif
(inside joke) It was great meeting you Lud. Looking forward to next time... whenever it may be.

I am exhausted. Goodnight!

Not only did you not wreck....nobody wrecked.

Nice to finally meet you Lud (a deceptively quiet guy in person.
smile.gif
)

So, give us some feedback on the "Hot Laps" during lunch on Friday. Boring, exciting, etc. (I gave Lud the results, so he might post them at some point.)

How about Goodson Acura providing four to six techs, two lifts, a brake lathe and tire changing equipment (all gratis) and parts at 25% off list for all three days at the track?

The ones who made it all work so well:
Eric Robbins: general coordination, directions, maps, etc.
Brent Cobb: general coordination (hotel, dinners, rooms, seminars), etc.
Vaughn Duarte: general coordination (conference calls, track lunches, track coordination), nagging
smile.gif
, etc.
Sam Stavron: everything Fort Worth (police escort, what helicopter escort? and too much behind the scenes I just can't talk about in a family forum), naughty jokes
Chris Croninger: general coordination and giveaways (chairs, attaches, wine, etc.)
Andy and Janet Vecsey: general coordination and everything related to registration before and during the event, lanyards, car numbers, etc.
Matt Falk: printing and email joking
Susan Tableman: everything related to Goodson Acura's support of the event and sweet smiles and hugs for all
Me: well, not much and I still dropped the ball on the keg for the party Friday night. Sorry.

BTW, I wanted to send in the list of requested shirts (the yellow instructors shirts (without the "Instructor" portion of the embroidery)) later today, but it occurred to me that some of the rest of you might want a shirt as well. I have not been through all of the pictures that Lud posted, but there should be one in there that shows the yellow shirts with the 2002 NSXPO logo on the left breast and checkered flag trim on the sleeves and collars. If you want one, email me [email protected] for details.

Congrats to all the newly-elected folks.

Wei-Shen runs a great program of events in the SE, and am sure we'll all benefit from his leadership. David as many of you know helped organize the NSXCA, and its great to see him back in the club again.

Karl Z -- you've got mail (re: event shirts).

I was one of the fortunate souls that made it to NSXpo and it was AWESOME! I finally got a chance to meet all the NSX big names in person (ie Lud, Chris Wilson, Mark Johnson, Wei-Shin, etc.) and also learned a TON about my car.

Big round of applause to all the 2002 NSXpo coordinators for hosting such a successful and fun event.

DITTO. Cheryl and I had a great time. Lud, Wein-chin, Andy, Chris and all of the other people that we met. THANKS!! It was fun.

P.S. BTW - - Both chairs fit real good under the engine hatch

What made it so great was the people that attended. Remember that, please. No matter how much cool stuff we had planned, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference if no one showed up.

People who want additional chairs, shirts, wine, bags, etc., will be able to get them soon. We are going to take orders for these items shortly... we just need to take a break for a week or so.

Please look here and on the NSXCA website (of course) for information on how to get additional NSXPO goodies. And no - you don't have to be an attendee to order them.

Glad to have at least made it out to the last track day. Met some of you but also stood around in anonymity while I gandered at cars I recognized...while looking to put an owner with them.

Meeting Lud was the funniest thing to me, as I saw him walking around and talking to people but never knew it. I saw his car sitting there went to check it out, then got lucky and saw it move...figured I'd better catch him before he left and finally met the master of Prime. ^_^ It's funny to put faces to names sometimes as you never know how your preconceived pictures of people will be crushed when you meet them. Lud was a nice guy...too bad I couldn't have chit chatted more.

From the small tidbit I DID finally get to see and talk to...it was nice to meet you guys (NetViper, Soulstice, Lud, and others I casually nodded to)!

Probably the funniest comment I heard all day was Soulstice's burst of laughter and astonishment that I don't even own an NSX yet! ^_^ Guess it's pretty sad that I've been on Prime for longer than this screen name shows but still don't have the car.

Anyway, wish I could have seen the multitudes, met more of you...maybe next time. Maybe I'll have the damned car by then.

I just walked in the door from the drive home. I must have missed reading about the "dodge tornados all over the middle of the country" event on the schedule! Yikes.

Now I have to unpack and re-pack to leave town in a few hours for business, but I hope to finish posting the pics and write-up from the event this weekend.

Outstanding event, and it was great to see everyone.
 
Hi Netviper,

I hope you don't mind I took this pic from your album. Just wanted to know who's car this is so I can get some details about it.

Wanted to know wheel size(are these Blitz 03's) and what lowering springs or suspension components were used.

This car looks awesome.

Thanks
