Default EXPO 6 Central Topic for Thoughts and Impressions

Well, I just left the track and I will have to say that I am already sad to leave. This, once again, was a well put together and fun Expo 6. Special thank you to all the organizers, instructors, sponsors, corner workers and the people that came. The environment and people is why I returned to Expo. The people that attend this event cannot be beaten. They are hands down the friendliest people here and their are no barriers. Not once did I feel a barrier or a bad vibe from any of the attendees.

I got to meet some cool people that I finally put a name to a face. Skelly, nsxtasy to name a few but there is plenty more trust me.

I am beat down right now to take a shower and head over to Clementines?

holy crap i had fun.

being the only sohc, (except aquafina i think), was kinda fun, and i learned a lot, had a great time, and am sad its over. i've looked forward to these past few days for the last 8 months or whatever, with great anticipation, and i'm really glad i was there. it was a bit smaller, but it made for a great group of guys (and a few ladies), and i feel it was an awesome couple days. thanks to everyone who put it on, and thanks to everyone i ran with on the track (intermediate), for passing me kindly, or letting my pass kindly. haha

just got home too, exactly one hour drive, lol!

it was a great event and this being my first expo, let alone first time on a track besides auto x, it was an incredible learning experience.

first off, i want to thank my instructor, Mark, in the #424 97 ITR without him, i dont think i would have survived

also, it was awesome to put faces to user names and people you always talk to, yet have NO IDEA what they look like, such as Migs (mike), dave B, Jon D, and BBasso (which i never heard a peep out of the entire event , etc.

josh, it was also fun to meet up and drive up, and good luck with the move and new job

i have more to say, but ill finish it up for now

expo 6 =

home...finally...i'm tired.. JUN. R (Cory) is knocked out sleeping like a baby. I had a blast with a few minor exceptions and mechanical difficulties.. but i had fun overall. Thanks to the chicago organizers and peepz that took care of me. Always a blast hanging out with you guys, chris N, jay, wai, ken, andrew, scott, pete, stefan and other chicagoans that i can't remember at the moment.. soo tired.. but i had a blast. Finally can't yap at me for not takn the showcar to the track and i've got battle scars to prove it before (on route) and after expo.

met some new people and finally put faces on some sn's on this forum. Mark from ohio for helpin a brotha out, still owe you a beer dammit!!..

cliff (instructor) for giving me a few pointers and helping me figure out what the problem was with my brakes and i know there were a few more.

tommymoose glad to finally meet yah.. we novices were all over the place.. hahaha...

that's all that my tired brain can remember at the moment.. i'm sure there are more.. but it was blast...

I had a great time.


I apologize now to anyone in intermediate. I was the ******* in the S2000 passing everyone.

Haha, for the record, I did put in a request to be moved up to advanced so I didn't have to put you guys off line for all of my passes.

Anyway, I had a great time. Except that I had two hours of sleep before the first day because of a little 3.5 hour trip to Chicago to get a clutch for the guy who gets the award for the longest drive.

Stand up Chris (98DC2R) and take your award for your 33-some-hour trip from Washington.

Even tho i didnt get to drive, i still had a sweet freakin time. Ive met some friends who I know ill have for a long time. Massive props to Andrew (Cone) and whoever else went to Chi-Town on late Sunday night to pick up a clutch and flywheel for Chris. Same props goes to whoever picked up JUN R from teh airport in Chicago when his original ride was MIA. It was great to see that kind of friendship from people i was just getting to know. All i have to say is im sorry to whoever is my instructor next year......

Great time, thanks to the organizers and sponsors

Fun track for sure.

Highlights for me:

- Meeting up w/ old friends and making lots of new ones
- Session in Erik95LS's caR
- Session trailing Baby NSX
- "What'd I win?"
- Young's banquet comments
- Watching Alex go slow
- Nothing involving room 206 (ghey)

i more or less came up by myself. i had spoken with kettering on line and met another guy from cincy once. i expected to come up and be invisable among all the groups of friends but it was quite opposite. as soon as i pull up the tuna crew were handing me a much needed beer. throughout the next few days i managed to meet quite a few other people. i think its safe to say that we have a good group of people here (HT) and not once did i feel un'welcome. nice meeting everyone.......expletive mass bitches.

and I almost forgot, best non-driving highlight:

my raffle ticket # was 572 (the Cone's R number), and it turned out to be lucky. I won the T1R front and rear camber kit. Traded it to my buddy Tony (nemesis0104) for the camcorder I borrowed from him all weekend because I don't need 'dem parts.

A big thanks to all who participated. It was my first expo and it was great. I'll definitly be tracking next year though.

Room 206 was across the hall from me, and honestly, it seem'd pretty gay.

It was a great event, very well organized and awesome crowd of people. i had a blast other than being burned from the sun because i forgot my sunscreen.

thanks to everyone that made it happen, looking forward to next year! (if its not too far for us canadians)

didnt have the chance to meet as many people as i wanted to, so tired, but those that i did were awesome. Everyone seemed friendly and willing to help each other out.

to the organizers and everyone that attended.

oh i was driving in the red hype r.
