Man, there are alot of NC folks! Barring crappy weather, I'll try to come up there this weekend and/or December. I had to "exercise" my brakes in the rain yesterday so now its all dirty again. Guess I'll have to wash it.
Any members in NC?

I've been following the weather on WRAL all week. Saturday is still supposed to be very nice. 70 degrees. Too bad you can't make it, Noggz!
We still need to pick a place that is pretty convenient for everyone.
Tom - any suggestions? Maybe somewhere that we can get some lunch or something. That Char Grill idea you mentioned sounds good...I guess the only question is which one? There are a few of them in the area.
So far, it looks like it will be Tom, me, RLH, James (pixel), NSXYZ-ZYXSN.
Anyone else?

I'll try to make it as well. Is anyone going to have their wife or girlfriend with them? Because we are new to the area, the last time we did this she came along hoping to meet some new female friends. No luck.
She drove my car once for about 50 feet. When I first met her in the UK I had my other NSX which she thought was a Ford Focus. Not a lot of car interest there.
I don't think she'll want to discuss the pros and cons of tires and wheels, detailing tips, etc..

Char Grill off Atlantic is always good, as they host the cruise ins during the year. Plenty of parking, not much room for eating unless you sit around the car. Not a big "eater outer" so not super familiar with lots of places. Anyone else is welcome to make a suggestion.I'll see if my wife wants to come, but she thinks nothing is more boring that being around a bunch of car guys. With other women there, I might be able to get her to make it, if she doesn't have something already planned.
Wherever it is, lets plan for noon.
Tentative right now, unless someone else comes up with something, Chargrill off Atlantic Av, noon. Hang out for a while, eat as a group, around 12:30. Hamburgers and such.
Any of you guys know any close roads for spirited driving afterwards?

Yes, that sounds good. I've been there quite a few times at the shows.

I don't, but I know that Rob (RLH) does. Warning though...he's a crazy mofo! LOL

No big deal. Mine is (relatively) clean, so I'm just going to give it a quick wash/light detailing in the morning, and will be ready to go.
Speaking of spirited roads, we need to get you boys up to VIR and test those rides out...seperates the men from the boys!
Have fun Sat. , I'll be there in spirit!

I wish I could afford to take my car to VIR! Unfortunately wrecking or blowing my NSX up isn't really an option at this time.
Tear the track up for me though. :smile:

That's a whole 'nother trip. We should do a tail of the dragon for that one.
looking forward to the meet tomorrow. i'm new to the area as well, so may be a little late. not sure exactly where it is but i'll leave that up to the navi.
wife can't make it because she's watching the kids.
have to take them to the parade tomorrow morning, but barring any navigation issues, i should be there around 12-12:30
see you then!

Did anyone take any pics
Good times! Good people. Glad everyone could come. I'll stick some of the pics up later tonight or tomorrow.
Were you guys able to find some twisties?

Good to meet everyone that showed! Never made it to the twisties, as we were all too geographically challenged to know any good roads that were close. And I have no excuse, as have been in the Raleigh area for 5 years now....
Might be a good excuse for a Fancy Gap run.....Do that in a day, as opposed to a Deal's gap weekend....

Ok. Here are some of the pictures from the Raleigh NSXpo. An excellent grouping of rides and people. Thanx to Doug, James, Tom and Alice for bringing their rides! Michael confessed that he doesn't actually have one so for now he'll just have to dream of ours. :biggrin:

What kind of exhaust do you have on your car?
Wish I could have been there. Me being a North Carolinian would have never known it was that many NSXs in the RTP area. Nice pics!!!
The "custom fartcans"??? It's a set of HP Racing cans, with custom tubes to the flexible part of the headers. Pretty sure cat delete, but honestly can't remember right now. On the car when I got it 3 years ago. Pretty loud, great when you are in the mood, a bit much first thing in the a.m....
