Default Taste of Lexus 2008 Arlington Park - Chicago, IL (Oct. 8,9) (Oct. 15,16)

Is anyone attending this years event? My sister, who I took last year, received a post card invite. She added me to her guest. I will be there at Arlington like last year on the first Sunday in Oct at 1pm. It is a blast. I beleive this focus is on the AWD performance against the competition. The food is always great, and it is free as usual.

not sure if I will go this year, went last year and it was okay. I just wanted to see the ISF and the few minor changes to the IS I will see on the road.

Mike if I recall correctly just get online and register for it??

When I registered all the slots were open. It is a little too far in advance for me to set a date, so when it gets closer we can figure it out. They let me have 3 guests. So 2 more people are more than welcome to come.

Yeah, seems like an exclusive deal. Is there any plans to meet up before/after the event just to hang???

It's on the weekdays and spread over two weeks so It might be hard to coordinate.

I just received an email ironically. Below is my info if anyone wants to meet up. I will be dressed as a pumpkin for no apparent reason. My point is, I have a gambling problem.

My Confirmation time:
