Sackdz (Ed) and Wai were having race car fun during the parade laps. They were each trying to "fold-in" the other's side mirror, I forget who won....Bradstard avoided the "fun" in Graffiti .

Precision driving!

Love those photos and stories...of which I have many to share. Those look like Expo 9 Autobahn. We had South Course that year before upgrading to Full Course in 2010 (now called Full Circuit). I'll dig up my personal photos from both and share.

Fun fact: we did not have a formal parade lap at Expo 10. I was not happy about it and might have said a few harsh words at the time. Instead, we had touring laps, which were fun. I took Gary Robinson, marketing manager of Acura at the time, out in the DB8R for those.

Second to last event with my GSR I think? I hadn't tracked it at full speed in a few years and decided to literally shake the rust off. I probably scared a few people while smiling. ...roasted the rear pads, whoops.

Rear pads:


I owe Mike Cohn a thank you for picking up some pads from a local parts store to get me home.

Good catch, corrected, thank you!

9 was my first expo. I think my car had 20,000 miles on it at the time.

What an event too. I met a ton of great people like yourself, awesome caravan, a ton of shotgun rides, and Gary Robinson from Honda speaking at the banquet.

Thanks for sharing your photos, super fun.
