I couldn't say it better, so here are Ken Sax's well put highlights from NSXPO 2001:

Now that NSXPO 2001 is over, here are some of the things that I'll remember most, presented in chronological order:

- The cool, crisp, perfect October weather

- The good feelings at the reception at RealTime Racing

- The beautiful setting at the Osthoff

- The well-behaved NSX drivers on the drive through the rolling hills to the EAA Museum in Oshkosh

- The detour through Fond du Lac :(

- Having lunch in the middle of the museum, surrounded by airplanes

- The professional photos taken at a distance at the museum, that made each NSX look like it was directly in front of an airplane

- The parking garage at the American Club, full of NSX's

- Asking a room of 120 NSXers and wives how many had flown an airplane, and seeing 30 hands go up

- David Hobbs' after-dinner speech, so colorful and off-colorful

- Talking about Road America during the Friday seminar, before actually driving it

- Miled Salheb's speech, after accepting a service award from the club, describing his work cleaning up at the World Trade Center site (THE most memorable highlight)

- Troy Thirdgill's funny stand-up comedy routine

- The only heavy rain we saw all weekend, when leaving dinner at Bruce's

- The hard work by John Vasos and his folks from Acura of Brookfield at the track (it seems they worked on just about EVERYONE's car, making sure it could keep driving on the track and on the way home)

- The gorgeous setting of Road America during fall foliage season

- The fun that everyone had at the track

- Our safety record at the track - only one car incurred slight damage in a slow-speed incident, a record any of the groups who run at that track would be proud of. At the end of the event, one of Road America's professional corner workers came up to me and said, "You guys are the safest group I can remember in a long time."

- Last, but not least, all the incredible NSX people I had a chance to spend time with. Thanks to all for your participation and camaraderie.

See you in Texas at NSXPO 2002!
