DAY 0: Packing the NSX for a road trip is always "fun"...so this is a test run. As usual, I plan to squeeze my camera backpack behind my seat, but I have a newer and somewhat larger bag than what I have put here previously. To maximize space, I will use my pillow to keep the bag just behind my headrest. And, unlike my previous camera bags, this one opens to the side...I can easily access my camera without moving the seat.

With my tripod behind my seat, I have plenty of room for two soft bags, my usual cleaning supplies, and some space for groceries in the trunk. Unlike previous road trips, we need to stock our lodging with what food we will need for the weekend.

DAY 1 - Valerie and I arrive at the morning meeting spot in Pasadena

Half of the cars are here...and where is our leader?

After some of us have breakfast, we return to our cars. Weren't we supposed to leave here no later than 7am?

Craig is such a poser

Here comes the sun

Mexiricer's NSX is the first touched by the sun

Let's get this show on the road!

I pull out of the parking lot behind Mario (mcano)

Chase has us regroup before start up Angeles Crest Highway

Getting the mandatory mirror shot out of the way early

And we are on our way!

First stretch involves Angeles Crest Highway and Angeles Forest Highway...and the weather is perfect

We stop to regroup at the end of Angeles Forest Highway

Robert (a.k.a. MexiRicer) catches up

This is the third multi-day road trip I am taking in my NSX this year, second north of Los Angeles over the past two months, and I anticipate this could be the longest single day of driving. All of us who are driving hope our passengers are up for it.

NSXs of MexiRicer, SeaSharp, mcano...one of these is significantly lower than the rest

Of the NSXs in this group, Mario's spends the most time at the track

Craig's stock NSX has probably driven the most miles this year. Craig and Jan traveled all the way to Wisconsin for NSXPO 2017 last month. Mario caravaned with Craig, but had to turn back in North Dakota.

Robert's extra low NSX

Robert's extra low NSX deserves a lower angle shot

Alan finally catches up...apparently Jill thinks we all drive a bit too fast
