This gathering was a gas! THANK YOU ACURA OF STOCKTON! Talk about great hosts, they really rolled out the red carpet for us, literally. Great food, great people, nice give-aways - every one that attended got a free Acura NSX detail kit, a cool hat, coupons good for a free oil/filter change and more. 55 NSX's at last count that I am aware of. Some seriously modified cars too. Great day-thanks to all.

 

[Hrant]

This was indeed a great event. The largest NSX gathering next to NSXPO 2003 in NorCal. Many thanks to all who attended. And I will echo the great hospitality of Acura of Stockton and its management and staff. Special thanks to John and Ryan. They were absolutely superb in allowing us to take over the entire dealership (all other business was suspended if you didn't notice), and making us very much at home. The raffle and gifts were just icing on the cake.

I will take this opportunity to offer some token best of category mentions. Your are welcome to comment, add ........

First has to be the category of the revving competition. It was great to have at least two cars revving next to each other for great comparisons. Comptech, Dali, Tubi, ARK, RM Taitec, OEM were all represented. Kudos to those who participated :smile:

Loudest: Hands down Allen's car with his Dali exhaust, Comptech header and straight pipes. That was a beast and may not even pass Thunderhill :biggrin:

Second Loudest: Ryan 2000 Blue with Taitec center exhaust and headers if I am not mistaken.

Very Distinctive: Anytime's earlier version; very sweet and made a statement among all the others. Wonder what the newer version would have sounded. Too bad they are not making more.

Best wheel in show: Hands down Bobolinski's deep dish :biggrin:

Best Audio: Need we say more ........... D'Ecosse who scared us with his driving skills on the showroom paddock :wink:

Capital investment on four wheels: Kip or should we say Comptech's red NSX. Many of us are wondering where Kip banks and who owns the pink slip on that car :tongue:

Real Estate Mogul: Steve Ghent; he had to take two spots with both his NSXs No wonder the dealership loves him :smile:

Longest Journey: I Grok NSX - all the way from Susanville!

The most standing out color: Ron's 03 Imola of course; the only one in that color.

The luckiest guy we know: Jon Nastro. This guy never leaves an event without winning a raffle prize every single time :biggrin:

The guy who most deserved the FRS/Gmrs transceivers: Brian Butts. Finally we can stop worrying when he will return the club radios that he continuously borrows and forgets to bring, charge ...... :wink:

Man, that column just leapt out towards the back of my car just as I was pulling in - they need to anchor those things down to stop them doing that!

I was (obviously!) completely oblivious to it - thanks to the at least 10 voices in unison all screaming STOP!

Thanks to the hosts & organizers - it was great to see old & new friends.

 

[SMGNSX]

Ok this was a event to remember I think everyone had a great time and the dealership asked us for nothing in return except to think of them in the future for any service and parts or even a new car.
I hope some of you took atvantage of the 15% off comptech stuff as I did now I'm 7000.00 lighter in the wallet but its all good.
I was the last one to leave (trying to drive 2 cars at once) and John and Ryan were very happy with today (would every one come back if this was a annuel event? we had some talk about that) You know they had some room left over I think they could get 60 cars WOW!
I want to THANK EVERYONE for coming to out town and sharing there cars with everyone and I would like anyone who is in Stockton area or close to know you have a dealership that cares and wants you business so please consider them.
You know Ken blew the return hose just out of Stockton, they gave him a tow and a car to drive to Half Moon Bay THAT IS SERVICE and labor rate of $75.00 per hr WOW! Everyone who who still has water in there car is lucky if you don't replace your hoses as I blew the main engine return hose at thunderhill and it ruined my day as well so everyone older than 1995 take notes and SHANE this meanes you to
Hey there ar track days at Thunderhill on July 29,30 lets take over with NSX's as we have proven we can do this.

Thanks Again and feel free to e-mail me [email protected] or cell phone 209-649-2632

First off, I also want to thank the Prime members who organized this event and Acura of Stockton for hosting it. This was one of the best organized, well-rounded and fun events I've been to. :smile:

However, I think I was one of the luckiest guys, I got a ride in Kip's beast of a car... Damn that thing is quick... I kept getting slammed back into the seat every time he punched it in 1st, 2nd or 3rd unfortunately, when I returned you guys already left for your drive... But this was a small price to pay for a ride in an awesomely prepared car.

 

[Litespeeds]

Great gathering with beautiful cars and wonderful people. That is what life is all about! Thank you Stockton Acura for your gracious hospitality. :biggrin:

Ride with Kip at Thunderhill and you will have another story to tell as your right hand will have no blood left in it from holding on to the door handle so tight, Riding with Kip is like every coaster and fast ride put togather. Go to Thunderhill July 29,30 and see for yourself you will be amased

[I Grok NSX]

To all who attended and to Acura of Stockton,


It was a long drive but well worth it. My girlfriend and I drove to Stockton Friday night and spent the night at the Marriott. Got up the next morning and did some detail work on the NSX, then drove to the event to find out that we were the first attendees.

It was great to see all the NSX’s drive in. It was also very nice to see some of the members of both the Sacramento and Bay Area chapters. We had to leave a bit early as to get back to Susanville before it got dark. There is a much larger chance of striking a deer when it’s dark and there are plenty of deer crossing 395.

We drove back via Hwy 50 and cruised through South Lake Tahoe. Hwy is a nice drive with plenty of twisties and passing lanes. We stopped for a couple of pictures along the way. Got back home around 8pm, just at dusk….perfect!

My thanks to Acura of Stockton for their hospitality and professionalism. They have a first class organization for sure. If I lived a bit closer, I would definitely consider them for my new/used car needs along with my parts needs. Pictures of the event below!

We were the first to arrive.

Looks like there was plenty of parking....but look on....

Pre-event parking was a little crazy.

Everyone finally parked and the event is under way.

Food and drinks were provided by Acura of Stockton.

An example of some of the crappy ( :smile: ) scenery we had to endure along Hwy 50 to South Lake Tahoe.

Hi Michael,

I had the same problem at first but eventually got it working. My problem was that I didn't have the necessary codecs installed on my computer. I can't wait to see all the additional pics that other Prime members might send to Steve to include in the slideshow.

This was a great event and I too have nothing but great things to say about the folks at Acura of Stockton! They were truly first class and have won me over as a new customer!

Ditto.
Would Steve post the pictures on a site so people can browse instead of having a slide show?
