OK everybody, there have been several 'reserve the date' threads in the last few months for this MASSIVE Lexus event and now we're ready to open registration for the First Annual East Coast Lexus Meet. We're anticipating this will be the biggest Lexus-only event on the east coast (and possibly biggest in the US) and are anticipating 200 - 300 Lexus in attendance. For our inaugural east coast event, Lexus' factory sponsored race team (Team Lexus) has graciously offered to host us with an open house and a preview of the IS350 racecar being built for next season.

Please visit our meet website www.lexfest.net for more information; the snippets below are just a starter.

W H E N
We're targeting the weekend of August 19 - 21, with the primary meet events on Saturday August 20. The weather will still be warm, but should be a bit cooler for outdoor activities towards the end of summer.

W H A T
Meet fellow avid Lexus enthusiasts
Show off your car and scope out what other folks have done with their Lexus rides
Tour the Team Lexus facility and see the exciting new IS350 racecar
Learn about Lexus aftermarket parts from vendors
Alternative daytime local tourism for guests in the Baltimore and Washington DC area
Chances to win valuable prizes from our meet sponsors
Scheduled caravans to the meet from major local metro areas. We'll form up folks who may want to drive together to the meet location
MORE details on special events and surprises at the meet to come!

W H E R E
The Team Lexus race shop just outside of Baltimore, MD
A central location that most folks in the central-eastern US can get to (as well as other ambitious folks). The Baltimore / DC area was selected for the first annual meet because of the ready-built core group of Lexus enthusiasts within easy driving distance in the Northeast corridor that can make this meet a really big one. When Team Lexus volunteered their facility to host us, it became a no-brainer. Future Lexfest meets will be in different east coast cities each year to allow for changes of scenery and different groups of members to attend.

The www.lexfest.net meet website is up and running and will be constantly updated with new information about the event. We still need to add a bunch of additional content to it including details on the special events planned during the meet from our sponsors / vendors, special deal and location of meet hotels, lists of the raffle prizes, etc.

We ask that people that are likely to attend register now so we can begin to get a count of people coming for food and facilities planning. If it turns out you can't make it, just send me a PM or an email to info@lexfest.net and we'll pull you off. Click on the register button below or click here to enter your registration information. Note that you won't show up right away on the 'confirmed attendees' page because there is an approval / review process.



The meet planning team will check back on this thread regularly to answer any questions.
