Hot lap from Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in our 1992 NA1 NSX! Fun weekend out with Chin Track Days! Falken RT660, KW V3, Hawk HP+. 1st time on this track (as is often the case) so not as many liberties taken with track limits as one might to gain a second or two.

Part 1 - https://youtu.be/dxO3FdXKKrk A scenic road trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway, seeing the sights and staying at Switzerland Inn! Join us for something a bit different this time as we explore western North Carolinas crown jewel byway. Liz and I decided to get away for a weekend late last year and made it a couple of days up the Blue Ridge Parkway just weeks before Hurricane Helene devastated the region. The whole parkway isnt yet back open, but many of the businesses and stops we make are now re-opened and would appreciate your patronage!

![NSX Rear Lower Ball Joint DIY | [slightly scary!] 😬](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rYpOSp2V-1Y/mqdefault.jpg "NSX Rear Lower Ball Joint DIY | [slightly scary!] 😬
In this DIY, we remove and replace a rear lower ball joint on a 1st gen NSX. This may seem slightly scary as it does involve wielding a big hammer around aluminum parts, but it will save you potentially $1000 vs. buying a whole new knuckle from Honda/Acura.

![Hot Lap Throwback🔥 | NSX @ PBIR [Zombie Track]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vPXwSLAVl_c/mqdefault.jpg "Hot Lap Throwback🔥 | NSX @ PBIR [Zombie Track]
Throwback hot lap! Pushing our NSX at one of the last events at Palm Beach International Raceway. A potential zombie of a track, PBIR closed in 2022, was sold, then not-sold, and then was up for sale again last year with The RPM Group and potentially others exploring a path to re-opening the track. Fingers crossed that our YouTube eulogy from 2022 can be re-written into a come-back!
