The Drivers Edge Mar. 6-7, 2004 Pictures

[Ojas]

Several of us were at Texas World Speedway in Bryan/College Station this weekend for a Drivers Edge event. As usual, it was fun spending time with fellow NSXers! I'm glad I made it to dinner this time... I heard lots of great stories. Besides what I picked up then, I learned quite a bit of stuff on the track. I'm more hooked than ever and can't wait for the next track event. Here are a few pictures (click on a picture to see a high-resolution version):

Early Saturday morning on my way from Austin to Bryan/College Station:

Perfect weather - high temperature was in the 70s and clear skys both days:

Great pictures! I hope to join you guys, as soon as I find my baby.

Any story behind "SLOW HONDA" being painted on your bumper?

Nick.

 

[Stradale]

Ojas,

ROTFLMAO @ the "Slow Honda" !! Thats was fabu! I couldnt stop lauging when I saw that. Thats wall paper material now that I found out I can click on it


Deadeye,

I think the Slow Honda is just part of Ojas good humour

 

[nikolai]

That was YOU with SLOW HONDA on the back of his car!! I thought that was pretty funny. I was in the blue run group as well in the silver Prelude.

 

[NSXLuvr]

- Can't believe I missed it.

Oh well, anybody going to Apr 17th wknd or june 12th wknd?

 

[docjohn]

Brings back nice memories of that wild banking and our tricky chicane for expo02.

 

[MarkB]

...anybody going to Apr 17th wknd or june 12th wknd?...

I will be at both events.

 

[nikolai]

- Can't believe I missed it.

Oh well, anybody going to Apr 17th wknd or june 12th wknd?

I think MSR would be a 6-7 hour drive for me, depending on traffic. I'm planning on going to the Sept event.

As always Ojas, Great Pictures!!!!
That was a great day for driving and dinner was great as well!
Unfortunately, due to scheduling, I won't be on the track again until September

No slow Honda!

BTW, I ran in the blue for a couple of sessions and Ojas is not a "Slow Honda"! He is probably the only car I didn't pass in those sessions - great job for his second time!
