NSXPO 2003 for me began on Tuesday, October 7, 2003.  The event actually started the day after, but I wanted to get an early start up so as not to miss any of the planned festivities.             A number of Southern California NSXers planned on cruising up the coast along Highway 1 (PCH) Tuesday.  Most of those traveling in the group were coming from Orange County and Los Angeles County cities.  Being that I was at least 90 minutes further south, and not being much of an early riser, I decided to travel up with two other San Diego NSXers, Conrad (POWERED by HONDA) and Kenny (k2).  We left at about 8:30 in the morning and ventured north.

We had to make a quick stop in Laguna Niguel where Kenny needed to "pick up" his track event tech inspection.  Ramon of Niguel Motors was able to supply the required paperwork.

Traveling through Los Angeles proved to be quite hazardous.  After taking a "mild" detour for an early lunch, I hit a rather large piece of what appeared to be fiberglass while entering the State 118 to I-5N interchange.  Whatever it was that I hit, it left a rather large scratch and indentation across my front nose piece and Wings West Chin spoiler.           I wasn't going to let that incident bring me down at the beginning of my first NSXPO.  Heck, iIf anything, NSXPO 2003  turned out to be a great place to get  NSX body ideas.

After that, the rest of the day was rather mild and uneventful.   We headed north via the I-5 Grapevine and then made a quick stop at Lost Hills in the Central Valley for Kenny to get a quick bite to eat.  Eventually, we cut across to the 101 via Gilroy, "the Garlic Capitol of the World", narrowly missing an encounter with highway troopers.             Kenny eventually broke off for an over night stay in Fremont.  I made a similar stay in San Jose for Tuesday night.  Meanwhile, Conrad took off north straight for the Embassy Suites in San Rafael. Heading up the Grapevine Stopping in Lost Hills   Don't bother this guy while he's eating. Kenny's front grill makes a great garlic catcher.
