Brian, if you get the Realtime Pit tour, will it be an 18+ event only?
Palmer you look like your 25 no biggie:biggrin: Just walk in behind me:biggrin:
Can't wait for the weekend to get here. This is looking like a great event thanks to you Brian. And based on recent news from Acura
http://www.autoweek.com/article/20090803/ALMS/908039995
the chance of this event happening again, due to their future, looks slim. I am thankful that I am going to be a part of it and encourage everyone that can get there to do so and represent NSX owners.
If any of your group would like to use my photos for the driver autograph session, send me an email at RSO34 at NSXCA dot org and I will email you a full resolution file that you can print and bring to the track for a memento of what appears to be the last season for Acura in the ALMS. I just ask that you please use the digital file for this limited purpose to respect my copyrights.
I will offer these 3 shots for your use:
Wish you could be there, Juice...
Does anyone have an extra infield parking pass. I will pay the $15 that Mid-Ohio charges for it. Got my tickets from Honda thru work and Mid-Ohio will not let me buy a parking pass enless I buy a ticket.

Brian,
I won't be there until Friday, afternoon, can you sign me up now for the NSX drive?
Thanks
Tim
Is there anything going on with the NSX's on Sun?
YEA! Back for Sunday, and all the racing activities......corral/tent, and Brian's hospitality! Not to mention.... Indy Cars driving a road course.
:biggrin: :biggrin:
P S Brian, let us know if I got this wrong. Count us IN times two for parade lap(s).
Thanks, Brian, for setting everything up. It was really fun seeing more people interested in and taking pictures of 13 NSXs than several hundred Vettes! I hope it also wasn't lost on the people in the Acura tent that the crowd was a lot more interested in their old cars than their new cars.
Made it back to VA last night about 12:45. I had a much better weekend than Danica did!
Anyone have pictures to post?
