Supercar Run 3 - Saturday, 10/27/2012

I had a great time! It was nice to meet a couple of ya'll.

Here are some of my pictures.

It was so nice to drive with people who are actually paying attention and aware of their surroundings. A great departure from the typical experience in AZ.
 
My friend Dan Michael rode in my Yellow '02 NSX on this ride along with ten other fabulous NSX's. As well as a few other nice cars.

When he got back, he took some videos he took along with a few of my stills and created the summary you can see in the attached. I think he did an awesome job. If you want to tell him so, you can email him at: [email protected]

His video is here:

It was great to see you all there!

Video does not exist.

Here's a shot of your car in the Red Robin parking lot, not a fan of the massive sun spot on the windshield though! :o

Well, I was there with wife and friends so I only met a couple of the NSX owners, and I didn't get to look over their cars like I wanted to, but had a great time anyway. That first stop on the 101 got a little dicey, but the rest of the ride was cool. Even wifey had a good time (not a car person, although she enjoyed driving the X home).

I think I passed you on the 101 near Cave Creek coming home.
 
I had a great time even though I slept in late and nearly missed the drive. I came pretty unprepared without my camera or walkie talkies, and I forgot to mount my GoPros. :redface: Thankfully there were tons of other cameras there, and I'm glad you guys shared some of your photos. Below a few shots that I snagged with my iPhone. Supercar Specialists did a great job organizing this event, and I am impressed with their new facility! I enjoyed the laid back drive even though we did tie up traffic at a couple of spots. :biggrin:

I counted 11 NSXs present, including my 93 (which I didn't take any photos of, haha). Let me know if I've mislabeled anyone's cars.

It was very kind of Mark to let me sit in his MP4-12C. What an amazing car! Feels like a grown up NSX in many ways.

I stopped by the Pavilions Saturday night, and spoke to a couple of the Pantera owners that were there. They let me sit in a Pantera, and I invited them to try my NSX too. Surprisingly the NSX is a tad taller than the Pantera (and has better visibility), but the seating position is very similar. I've always liked the Panteras, and they seemed impressed with the NSX too.

I got to the Pavilions around 9pm, and yes--it was pretty desolate. I figure it was on account of everyone being tired from the Supercar run, or getting ready for SEMA. :)

Nice video btw!
 
Nice pictures!! What route was chosen? Up to Payson again?

Bummed could not make it. Had a hellish busy Friday. Next time let's plan the drive on a Sunday, easier to rest up on Saturday. :)

Scottsdale to Wickenburg to Prescott and back down the 17

-we don't plan the drive, its a super specialists run -
 
True dat. Sundays are easier especially since more people are in church, thus emptier roads. :biggrin:

I think they need to make the run MUCH earlier to avoid general population traffic : meet at 6am and roll at 7am

You snooze, you lose... :biggrin:

The 101 was very busy at 9am for #3 run
The 17 was very busy at 9-10am for #2 run

I'd agree, I like to start early. But that does put you in Prescott/Payson a little early for lunch.
 
Only if you were speeding out east of Prescott where there is a speed camera...
 
I am still in Asia, but boss broke the news to me :eek:
I think she mentioned it was like $490 or something. Going 68 on 45 limit.
So any suggestions? Should I fight it? Should I ignore it? Pay it?

Chase I know you got some good suggestions....:confused:

How much? :greedy_dollars:
 
..and this is why you register your car to an LLC with a P.O. Box address

I really don't have any advice on this one, consult a lawyer
