Looking forward to it as always.

 

[Patricio]

I am new to the Florida area, I will be attending as well.

Since the schedule is preliminary, how about meeting at Dyno facility for a dyno day instead of Starbucks or the shooting range?
Or maybe since chin is involved a track day instead, with at least a nice parade lap?

 

[JLCoolman]

Hoping we can make this.

It has been a while and even though we just saw a few of you at NSXPO, it would be nice to catch up with the rest of the Florida group.

Sorry for speaking on anyone else's behalf, but a track event is a huge undertaking that would require an entire day's commitment from attendees as well as a huge coordination of a suitable track facility. Not to mention a significant investment from participants. There are incredibly talented and motivated people here on prime but it's a little late in the game to be contemplating a track day for early December . And that would be if you could find a date a track is available.

Now the dyno day might be a good idea.

Regrettably I can't attend NSXcapades this year as I already have committed to something else those dates. Darn.

 

[Blacknot]

I will be able to attend Sunday only. We should try and have more then one meet a year. I visited California recently and got to meet a bunch of members. They have a very active group. We should really try and make Florida more active. Maybe a east cost trip to Tail of the Dragon for some nice roads to drive

 

[nsx-ray]

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

We can certainly do a Dyno day. I will check to see what's available on Saturday morning. There's always been a strong interest in the gun range and golf but perhaps we should try something different.

I think a track day just for NSX club members will be too expensive. Now, there is a Chin Motorsports event the following weekend 12/12-13. We could certainly piggyback on that event but there will be hundreds of attendees which dilutes the NSX experience.

I have no interest in dyno'ing my car. I would ask if people are actually interested in this before finding out what is available.

 

[Patricio]

I suggested the dyno day as an event and place to socialize.
The Dyno is always optional.
Just like the meet could also be at an already existing track event/show. Track participation optional.

Don't worry, there is plenty of time for socializing. This is a great event.

Hey Guys, If you book with coupon code FUN, you get the room for $123. I just did it. Don't know how long it will last.

 

[FLA NSX FIXER]

Gun Range

Hey guys,

We have 2 options, an outdoor range (private) with 25, 50 & 100 yard or Gander Mountain indoor range...I will need a head count of who is interested and if you prefer indoor or outdoor so I can make the reservation for Gander Mountain if necessary. If you could respond as soon as possible so I can make the arrangements.

Thanks,
Nabil
First Class Automotive

 

[boca rat]

Nabil, I am 50/50 for the gun range, sorry I can't be more specific. No preference

[DocL]

I have requested a furlough from my warden and the approval to get a weekend off is still under consideration. I will probably have an answer by the end of this weekend. That being said, Nabil, I would prefer the outdoor gun range.

I hope to see you all again and appreciate being welcomed even though I'm no longer in an NSX.

 

[nsx-ray]

Doc L, you are always welcome, even if you drive a Chevy Spark!

I have updated the initial post with a paid attendee list and also updated event details.

We will golf at Windermere CC with tee times at 1200 and 1207. Lunch at 11am in the Windermere CC dining room with parking all together right outside the front steps in the lot. We will draw a crowd from the golfers already there.

Saturday dinner will be hosted at my home in Windermere. K1 requires a minimum to book a room and we are getting too close to guarantee a number. We will still go there to do karting afterwards.

 

[ChicNSX]

Payment sent. Going to gun range. No preference.

 

[heretic]

Wei-Shen, where is the Sunday lunch going to be held?

 

[nsx-ray]

Wei-Shen, where is the Sunday lunch going to be held?

Probably at the Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes clubhouse. The issue is parking. Last year we had a devil of a time with that issue. I want assurances that we will have places to park in front of the building since the rest of the property is allocated to the Festival of Speed.

 

[heretic]

I liked the "fish" restaurant by the lake we have gone to in the past. Would this be near our country drive? I am not trying to change any plans just asking for myself, I have no real intrest in the festival of speed, this year.

Wei-Shen, it seems like Saturday dinner is going to be at your house instead of K1. What's the correct amount to PayPal you for two people?

David Anderson

BTW the "FUN" coupon code still works for the Drury Inn.

Nabil, count me and my son in for the gun range. No preference on indoor or out. I assume it's BYO heat and ammo?

 

[nsx-ray]

No change in cost. $25 for Saturday dinner. $27 for Sunday lunch. Since we are having it at my house I can spend more money for better food and less on the room!

And yes, we are also considering JB Boondocks for lunch Sunday. Depends on what the quote for lunch is at the Fairways Restaurant Ritz Carlton and whether it includes parking.

 

[heretic]

I'm in just waiting to see where Sunday's lunch is... Nabil you know I have no preference )

 

[DocL]

I'm in. Can't wait to see everyone again.

 

[HondaPower00]

One of my favorite events of the year but may only do the Sunday drive because I'll be participating in the South Florida Toy Rally on Saturday. For those interested, the registration for the toy rally will be closing soon. I would be interested in checking out Kennedy Space Center on Sunday too.

 

[DocL]

I'm with Steve, no Festival of Speed for me this year. The parking was insane and it was very crowded. I may take a quick trip to Epcot an hit a few roller coasters instead.
