This particular event is in California, so there may be people shooting at us on the highway on the way to the event.

No problem. You didn't know the nsx could dodge bullets? :biggrin:
When I was doing the parade lap at laguna seca with PCA, they did have the professional photographer available to snap pics on every turn. I believe, I paid $40 for the pictures. It all copies into a CD and you have a chance to view it before wanting to buy it.
For a big event like this one, I am pretty sure there are plenty of vendors out there already sign up to take your pictures. So make sure you and your car are looking good and ready to make a pose :biggrin:

I would not expect the same scenario here. There is a big difference between club events and major races like this. At club events most anyone can gain photo access unless one person is given the exclusive rights to the event. At ALMS, media credentials are required to shoot from any good vantage point with everyone else being limited to the spectator areas. I had tried to ask for a favor for Sebring and after being advised that credentials would cost $1500 I was told I could not even buy one because there are limited amounts. I believe that Acura was only given 2 sets for Sebring.
I doubt anyone will be "working" parade laps because they have their assignments for the race and it would not be cost effective to try to shoot 100 cars who will most likely be doing 3 laps and then try to sell one shot taken on spec. It would be difficult to get each car in that limited time and space since there would be no opportunity to shoot from anything other than one location. Unless you "bring your own" and try to get a clear shot from beyond fences, I would be surprised to see any vendors similar to club events.
Yippy, I'm confirmed!!!
Me to!...:biggrin:
I think I hear a Dawn Patrol rumbling somewhere for that morning..

If this goes down, I won't make it... I'll have my dad with me and he freaks out when I take a freeway on-ramp at 40

We only need shots from one location... "the turn" (again, you guys know where on the track I mean). A good SLR, which I assume a pro would have, can easily capture us all on one lap. If it's three parade laps, one photographer could capture three pics of each of us.
RSO, you're probably right that there won't be a photographer... I'm just saying that it's not because it's not easily feasible.

Cork Screw!

No worries... We're thinking of leaving the South Bay around 4:30 AM
I don't think to many of us plan to go nuts while still drinking coffee in the car..::wink:

Got,my conformation!!..........bill
Just a quick update on ticket sales. So far we have 83/100 tickets sold for the corral and about 165/200 for the hospitality tent. If you are sitting on the fence, your decision may get made for you soon!
I have opened the sales for new members, in two weeks, maybe less I will open the sales for non-members that are willing to join the club to buy tickets (of course the loop hole in this is if you join the club today, you could buy tickets tomorrow).

The number for the corral is the number of CARS, for which the capacity is 100. The number for the hospitality is the number of PEOPLE, for which the capacity is 200. Since you bought two tickets, you are one of the 83/100 cars, and two of the 165/200 people.Okay, now I'm confused. Do I have confirmation for both, or just one of those two? And, if one, which one?
I, of course, want both!
Thanks Ken. Buy I'm sure you meant that my NSX is one of the cars! :wink:
Tough crowd... :smile:
. Just paid up for the next three years. I have sent you a PM as well. Hope the event is not full already. I want to sign up bad!No, Ken C. For you, you have to stand in the corral next to your car all day. For teh rest of us, we will be inteh shade under the tent. :biggrin:
