En route to my 12th CalCoastal NSX Canyon Drive...tempted to exit at Martin Luther King Jr Blvd to get more photographs of Shuttle Endeavour, but I am already running late.
Fortunately, traffic is not a problem on the 110 today
No traffic to the 5
No traffic on the 2
NSXers arrive at the secret meeting location...this time in La Cañada Flintridge
The most common colors are well represented as usual
As usual, John (ANYTIME) checks everyone in
Familiar faces like Glen (Gansan), Troy (tbNSX), Randy (FuryNSX), Ted (Theo1), Mike (Mike2la)...some of these guys I see more often than others, but we always see each other at THIS event
Some of us have not seen Lani for nearly ten years...Conrad (Powered by HONDA), on the other hand, we see all the time
Scott (ss_md) hands out maps at the drivers meeting
Drivers meeting
Troy (tbNSX) wants to follow me
I snap the mandatory mirror shot before we even hit the road
I fall in with the San Diego group. Ramon (RQNSX), driving a black NSX with bright red rims, prepares to depart with another group.
Tino (bboxer) falls in behind Ramon
Bryana (BryziNSX) is going to be our group's sweeper
Glen (Gansan) gets ready to roll out. Today he is not the only one driving a Zanardi Edition NSX. Yes, two of the 50 coupes are on this drive...appropriate since Alex Zanardi won two gold medals at the London Paralympics earlier this year.
Steve (Ca AGNSX)
And we're off!
Entering the Angeles National Forest on Angeles Crest Highway
Randy gives a thumbs up as we pass the "open to Palmdale" sign
And we're now stuck behind a bus
