Fourth Annual Northeast NSX River Run and Cookout
Greetings NSXers,
Due to popular demand, we've selected a date for our fourth annual Northeast NSX River Run and Cookout -- mark your calendars for May 5th and plan on spending a fun day in the country!
HUH? WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?
A gathering of NSX owners (current, past and future...) and their spouses/S.O.'s at Don Gallo's house in bucolic Princeton, NJ... A "river run" drive (about 80 miles round trip) through nice country roads... a cookout... sharing photos from various events... swapping tall tales of track exploits… comparing mods… and the usual camaraderie and merriment!
The River Run has grown from an informal gathering of about a dozen cars in 1998 to last year's event at which we had 34 NSXs and almost 60 people. We had great weather, an awesome, fast, ticket-free drive, and way too much food! Go to
http://mcconcept.com/nsx/River%20Run.htm for photos from last year's gathering. This year we plan to blow out all the stops by holding the event jointly with the S2000 club as well (what can I say? Now that I have one of each, it's hard to choose between them…).
WHEN IS THIS SHINDIG?
Saturday, June 9th rain or shine (we'll have a tent if the weather looks threatening). Plan on meeting at Don Gallo's house by 9:30 at the LATEST. Country drive 10-1:30, cookout around 2...
TWISTIES?
Yep, we got 'em. We'll take a very scenic group drive in the country, which will take us past old stone towns, vineyards, farms, a covered bridge, and down the valley to the Delaware River. For you old-timers who've been to this event before, we actually have yet another new route this year, even nicer than the past ones! We'll walk over a historic Roebling footbridge to the Pennsylvania side for a light snack... and then reverse direction and follow a different scenic route back.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Your club radio, your NSX or S2000 (or both!), your PBA card and your appetite.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Up till now we've done the River Run as a "pot luck" with food assignments. The even has just gotten too big to do this anymore, so we're going to have it catered this year (ribs, burgers, picnic sides, etc.). We'll try to keep the costs reasonable ($20-$25/PP), and there will be a modest discount for NSXCA members. The event will be prepaid ONLY – no showing up with $$ on the day of the event (I'm not a bank, OK?). Once I have the exact amounts I'll let everyone know.
RSVP?
Please do. Let me know no later than Wednesday, May 25th if you'll be joining us. I'll send directions then...
See you all soon!
