Expo 17 -- Recap and Thank You

[jayhaire]

From the ITRCA / Type R Club of America:

Thank you to every participant, sponsor, and supporter! This year has been a bit different but also very special. The old zeroforum issue also slowed us a down a bit, but we are on a good path to recovery here.

For the first time ever, we combined with NSXCA's NSXPO for the track event portions. This was new to both sides, but our regulars were familiar with how we operate track logistics. From what I have heard thus far, NSXCA enjoyed the joint track event as well!

Personally, I think it's great to see the two models out there together. It also benefits both clubs in numerous ways.

Moving forward...

Can I buy a shirt from the event?

At this moment, we do not have enough to sell as extras. If that changes, we'll let you know.

What about printing that commemorative poster? I'd like that and one of those banners.

Those fantastic items were designed by JC (along with our shirts, NSXPO's t-shirts, etc.), and they are pretty awesome. However, we do not have them available yet. The posters were designed as a thank you to Joe, Lance, Wes, etc. for really helping me out this year and the NSXPO staff for working together with us.

We can explore printing the banner after some chats with key people...more later.

Where and when is next year's Expo? Is it finally going to be at <insert your favorite place here>?
Next year's event will be announced before the end of the year -- hopefully sooner than that. There are some details to figure out still, as usual. Also, we need a break from things a bit. There will also be some staff changes, and that will take some time to transition as well.

Thank you to everyone who supported our seventeenth Expo!

Well worth the trip from California!

Big thanks to Jay, Joe, Lance, and everyone else who made Expo 17 happen. I picked one heck of a year to start attending! Brett and I had a blast. Looking forward to hearing where Expo 18 will be...

Top notch event Jay. We also had the supreme privilege to revisit a bucket list track. The inclusion of the Pike's Peak NSX's (Nick and James Robinson were super cool) and Peter's continued support through Realtime Racing were a blast. I heard multiple accolades from both the on-track and social portions of the event (King/RTCH/Banquet.)

Thanks to all for all you do to put this event together!

I'll be honest, Road America was not a "bucket list" track for me, but the opportunity to see the Realtime Collection Hall was the draw for me. After seeing all the pictures from the opening in 2016 and HondaPro Jason's video, I didn't think I'd ever see it, let alone make the 1,900 mile journey to Wisconsin from Florida. Able to see King Motorsports has always been something really cool ever since I got into Hondas over a decade ago. Able to meet up with people I met at my first expo at VIR last year at this one was awesome. Sounds cliche, but it is in fact all about the people that make the ITRCA (now Type R Club) special.

Thanks to Jay and everyone involved with getting these Expos together. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. ITR Expo is the car highlight of the year for me. Finally getting an ITR last Sept. after wanting one for nearly a decade and being able to track it at ITR Expos is the bucket list item for me. Here's to many more Expos in the future.
