As a reminder, the arranged room rate is only guaranteed available through Sunday, March 23rd.

:biggrin: This is shaping up real nice. Willing to stage here/somewhere in greater Detroit area to proceed to Pt Huron/Bluewater Bridge and in. We'd meet up Friday noon-2:00 PM or so. Get outta here before Friday PM rush hours. Grab your Gal or your pal and let's do a road trip - meet some super NSX enthusiasts.

PM me with any questions.

You know what, Neal is right............

We attended a couple years back, and had a great time with some very cool people.
We had been holding out on this one due to multiple other commitments over the upcoming driving season, but with it being so close and now adding some free track time, we're in with both feet!

Who else is IN?

[Gthong]

I am in!!! very cool!!!

where can I get info on exactly when the track day is and what I have to do to be part of it and the event.

For those who have not seen the lodging.. it's in a cool spot for sure

as an alternative to crossing at windsor or sarnia.. be aware there is a car ferry at Marine city mich to Sombra, Ontario with a nice ride up the St Clair River on the Canadien side.

I can report later in the spring as to any ground clearance issues getting on and off the ferry... water should be up this year.. so I doubt any issues

Brian.. no promises... but if I participate in the track day... I MIGHT... actually activate the VTEC!!!

Already planning on Chin motorsports event Mon and Tues, hmmm, how to convince Liz to do both

 

[sca037]

Tim & Liz........come join the fun, and bring our helmet to the track for us (wouldn't that be excellent multinational concierge service? ;-)

Brian

 

[NSXgal]

Come on all you other party people...........

Is this a track event?

Track event with Chin Motorsports. Again with driver instruction. There are some track events coming up at Gingerman.

 

[sca037]

Is this a track event?

Est Fest has added some track time on Friday, which is a new and exciting addition to this event.

Brian

 

[Stephen@NCAutoUSA]

Est Fest is awesome. It's like a mini expo and the Canadians always show everyone a good time. I highly recommend this for anyone on the fence with events, it's a great start with great people!

 

[Bram]

I like Your Mother in Law:biggrin:......come on up

Is this a track event?

No, but this year we are able to secure 2 hours of track time for anyone attending Est Fest, and it's FREE

Some of our members are going on the Thur, to attend a full track day,which I'm told is very reasonable.

Bram

 

[alum04org]

Less than one month out now

Looking good for this. :smile:

Thoughts about meeting and driving to this event as a group? Leave 11 AM Friday May 23rd?

Yes that works, let's set up a meeting location (can use our place if you like) since we'll be heading North to 696 anyway.

Super weather report!

Sure looks good for this weekend into Grand Bend, ONT.

Getting excited - need a road trip in an NSX!

OK, life necessitates that we'll need to bump the leaving time a little later than 11am.........but it will still allow plenty of time to get to the track before the driver's meeting.

Looking forward to meeting you guys. I'm in St. Thomas ON. Only about an hour from Port Huron. I was thinking the other day that there might be some Michigan meets I could attend this year. Meeting with my fellow Canucks in Toronto is a 2 hour drive so traveling a little into Michigan would be similar for me.

Obviously we would enjoy having you visit Detroit area car shows/events and seeing your New Formula Red NSX. :smile:

We should launch at ~ 1:00 PM EST and mebbee see you at Oakwood Resort before going out to track? Weather forecast appears favorable.

431 MILES later..

AND a boatload of friends old and new, and fine times, think all arrived home safely.

In spite of Rick's gravel road. :redface:

Now some of those were track miles. :biggrin: Pics to maybe follow.
