On Friday, the day's
events took place at
Infineon, albeit, not on the racetrack.
Well, actually, the first event did. There was an early morning
walk-through along the entire track. Unfortunately, a large number
of us got there a few minutes late and missed out on the main body of people,
which left moments earlier. Waking up early for a non-event (at least
for me) was not the greatest way to start a day.
|
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, some
other vehicles were getting ready for their day on the track, so I took snapshots
of those cars while I waited.

The first seminar of the day
was a discussion about various
forced induction options for the NSX.
NSX supercharger and turbo vendors weren't
allowed, so much of the talking was done
by end users.
|
|
|
|
By about this time, most NSXPO attendees
had
made their way over to Infineon.
The upper levels of the Infineon grandstand
made a good vantage point for pics of all the cars.

Conrad
and Kenny agree.
This is a great view!!!

By midday, we had
taken a break to get our cars washed and cleaned for the group photo later
that day. We also took the opportunity to get pictures our individual
cars taken. Unfortunately, the path to get there was a dirt trail
and that lead to some pretty dusty cars. |

Okay,

While we were out
in the paddock area, the
Acura Spice Camel Lights car made a few runs up and down,
somewhat exceeding the 5 - 10 MPH limit out there.

Yokohama
had a seminar about tire technology, and how it was used in the development
of the NSX. Afterwards, raffle prizes were given out, with Conrad winning
a cool (and rare) NSX clock.

|
Must.......not......fall......asleep...

|
Finally, all the cars gathered in one
section of the paddock area and queued up for the group photo.
|

|
Everybody
rushes back to their cars for the group photo.
|
That's
STILL not your car either.
|
|
Hey you!!
Get out of the way!! You're ruining the shot!!
|
That's
better.

Now that's an interesting use
for a luggage carrier.
