October Monterey ALMS Event

Hey Tom,
Could you describe what made the event absolutely spectacular? Did you get to circle the track with other NSXers? I'd sure like to do both but I'm leaning toward an Oregon visit--(my Alma mater is in Eugene).

The activites at the event include snacks and soft drinks both Friday and Saturday, a full catered lunch on Saturday, photo ops and a meet and greet with the Acura drivers (click for pictures), drawings for passes to the hot pits during the race, hanging with a couple hundered other NSX owners, and oh yeah, a parade lap around the track (last year most cars did the cork screw at 80+ MPH).
Do forget there is also the LeMans series race in there somewhere.
Is that enough?
Tom

Also, how often are you going to see over 100+ NSX's in the same event driving around the track together. I would love to attend the NSXPO this year, but if I don't get my radiator hoses changed out, I'm not taking a chance.

Warning, the following is a shameless plug
You could go to NSXPO in Portland to see the 100 NSX's, and while you are there take the Hi-Performance driving school so you won't embarrass yourself when doing the parafe lap at Laguna Seca.
End of shameless plug
No need for the confusion - - - just come to both!
I made the trip out West from NY to Laguna last October and it was well worth it (I have been to 5 Acura/NSXCA sponsored ALMS races). In addition to the photos from last year at Laguna, http://photography.robertondrovic.com/gallery/3677206_5GR5v/1/210394384_QzVM2, you can see some prior NSXPO festivities on a couple of my other sites: www.nsxpo2007.net and www.nsxpo2004.com.
So after attending 5 ALMS races in two seasons and every NSXPO since and including 2001, I think I have enough experience to encourage you to have a good time at both this year.
Hi Virgil, sorry for the delayed response; I just returned from vacation. :smile: Well you heard from Tom K on this, so now a word or two from Tom G. :biggrin: First of all, the trip its self was fabulous. Our first stop was Cambria, Ca overnight, to break up the drive (we stayed a couple hundred feet from the ocean).
Then we went up beautiful Highway 1 to Monterey. We saw several groups of NSX's going through the mountains (we stopped and chatted with a group from AZ). :smile: The area around Monterey/Carmel is one of the most beautiful spots in the U.S, not mention Laguna Seca. There's lots of stuff for you and your wife to do in Monterey aside from Race stuff, i.e. the Monterey Aquarium, Cannery Row fine dining, etc.
Once at the track, you will be amazed at the level of hospitality extended by NSXCA and Acura Corporate. Acura provides the huge hospitality tent, food and beverages, an awesome vantage point to view the track, our own private bleachers within the corral compound, meeting over 100 other NSX'ers, etc.
End of part 1
Time for dinner and a movie...:biggrin:
Part 2 when I get back....
