This seems as good a thread as any to add my post event ramblings.First off to the organizers great job,the track events were well run by drivers edge and our club instructors.Vaugn,Karl and Eric are all track junkies( always had thier driving shoes on) and pleasent folk.We have some outstanding nsx pilots in our midst!I was honored to be in thier company as part of the instructers corps.MSR was an excellent choice to teach car controll,read lift-throttle oversteer.I was amazed how well the stock car handled some awry inputs and ended up going straight!The exhibition of speed event,at lunch was a blast.other highlites;Lud's recognition of his service to our community and Wei-Shen's election as pres.The weather was amazing ,and our N.E. regions fine attendance with 8 cars,crushing big nsx states like Cali.Cmon guys,this should have been quite an accessable venue for many more! My only rant.Of course the BBque breakfast lunch and diner was memorable.More ribs and cobbler anyone!LOL.Thanks to the vendors who showed up with stuff,MJ!We all know how great Goodson treated us.And the crotch cam during the engine tech sessions was a revelation.I have many more snapshot memories and they can all be summed up with the sharing of great car performance with thrilling tracks and fine like minded enthusiasts both men and woman,go Maria!Anyway counting down till next year.

Greg M's car. This car was one of my favorites at NSXPO. Blitz Type-03 wheels, Recaros and TAITEC rails, ScienceofSpeed HID system, etc. Clean & mean.

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

Yeah, the first one that you're missing since you missed NSXPO 2001.
and... ?
NSXPO locations for the next two years have been approved by the board.
NSXPO 2003 will take place in and around Infineon Raceway (formerly named Sears Point) north of San Francisco.
NSXPO 2004 will be held in and around Watkins Glen, New York.
Both events are targeted for mid-October, with final dates pending finalization of contracts with the various venues involved.

Maybe so.... but does Lud know that you won the award for "Most sideways without a spin"?

Hey S.L. .. Those were some crazy near spins! I look forward to the next time we get to ride together! Thanks for putting up with my MAD skillz..
Well Guys,
NSXPO "Texas Style" was truly a great event. My big question is how did you order that weather
.
It is obvious to me that a lot of work went into it and it showed. Very organized, and things really stayed on track (no pun intended). It was great to meet many folks I have only talked to via the forum or e-mail. And of course old friends as well.
Congratulations to everyone involved for a great job. You have certianly "raised the bar" for us "future" NSXPO committee's!!!!!!
Thanks,
LarryB

That was actually quite easy... you see, Mother Nature drives an NSX.

This car belongs to a good friend of mine, GMAC. He's got H&R springs which give his car that nice drop. The Type03's are for sale if you like them...they look awesome in person. He wants to get the BIG RED brakes from Brembo and is changing wheels to do so. These fit the common big brake kits but the BIG REDS need more backspacing.
This was a terrific NSXPO. I've been to every NSXPO (and, as of this year, am the only person who can say that). Each one has its own personality, its own unique activities, and a terrific track event (or two!). At every NSXPO, most folks go home feeling that they had a great time, and that this is one of the very best ways to have fun with (or even without) their NSX.
I brought back tons of great memories. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Dinner at the Mansion on Turtle Creek for the "Saturday dinner on your own", particularly for the fun group (as well as having something other than barbecue to eat)
- The police escort to the Fort Worth Stockyards, with entrance ramps closed off for our caravan
- Hearing Brent talk about the different kinds of forced induction, and seeing them all represented in the parking lot afterwards
- Watching Miled clean his car, and clean his car, and clean his car
- Seeing all the techs from Goodson Acura working on all the cars, replacing brake pads, having window regulators in stock and installing them for both the owners whose windows picked NSXPO 2002 as the place to drop, replacing coolant tanks, etc - I dubbed them "Godsend Acura" - with hugs for everyone from Susan Tableman
- Getting through Rattlesnake at Motorsport Ranch
- Watching Jim blast all the way through the wall in the go-kart event
- Having dinner at the Speedway Club on four levels overlooking Texas Motor Speedway
- Taking the Goodson Acura customers for a ride around TMS at lunchtime on Sunday
- Seeing faces to put with names like NetViper and Soulstice
- Meeting lots of new folks and recognizing lots of familiar faces
- Perfect weather every day, making the comments about the previous three weeks of rain difficult to believe
Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this event happen, and to all that were there to share it. It was wonderful!

I'm not sure if I've ever had so much fun with my clothes on. I can tell you guys I have learned volumes. Many thanks to John Vasos, Andie Lin and Aaron Reitman for giving me the benefit of their experience. I definately was enlightened. It was the first time we had done something like this. I've never been more proud of my techs and their teamwork.
It was great to put faces to posts I've read for quite a while...Larry B, Lud, Doc John, Soulstice, NCdogdoc, and nsxtasy (beware Ken, my girlfriends and I are coming to Chicagoland, get some rest!)It was wonderful to see some buds who don't get to Texas very often...Jim Erwin, Mark Basch, Nick and the infamous Mark Johnson. I was very excited to finally meet Chris Wilson, Bob Leonti (I'd know that voice anywhere),and Wei-Shin. Met a few new buds too, like Ed, Gary and Miled all of whom I hope I get to see more in the future.
I'm greatful to have gotten to know the Texas contingent better as well. Of course we all know that Vaughn can really drive, Brent makes primo margaritas, Janet is always organized, Eric is a wealth of knowledge and has an extremely long fuse, Sam does own Ft Worth and Chris would rather be sailing then sitting on a computer, but who would have known that Karl could blush and Andy actually is a sweetheart.
Hope you guys will include me again in the future!
Susan

Crew!
I just got back from Texas after spending some quality time with Dallas area friends before driving the 1000+ miles home. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the wonderful time, the fun and shared experience. We are truly fortunate to have such a fun hobby that includes so many fine people.
I was asked by no less than 20 people about the NOS setup and other details of my car. If any of you want more info and weren't aware of it, go to the web site at the bottom of this post and read all about it.
I put up the some 190 digital pics I took at the event, plus I have 100 more "real" film pics being developed. I'll get those up as soon as I get 'em back. Go check 'em out, see if I got a shot of you or your car and tell me who's who so I can lable them all! I'll have my event write up online soon as well. No, really.
Susan, does your boyfriend read this forum? Thanks for the good time, you little vixen.

One more thing:
Those of you with an opinion.....
......who were part of the track event and had instruction of some sort, would you be kind enough to send me a private email about your instructor. If you don't remember his name, just include your car number and I'll figure it out. I'd like to know what worked and what, if anything, didn't. kzmann at worldnet.att.net
