Thumbs up The Pursuit 3: Aftermath & Pictures thread

3 years. 3 record-setting events.

For the third year in a row, The Pursuit has been the standard by which all other Lexus meets are measured. With over 625 cars and 1,000 guests in attendance, this year's event was bigger and better than ever. Staging an event like this is not easy - it takes money, manpower, and TONS of dedication.

I'd like to give special thanks to Longo Lexus - specifically Mr. Greg Penske, Mr. Tom Rudnai, and Mr. Chris McCarty - who allowed James and the rest of our team the opportunity to create an event worthy of the Longo marque: the World's Largest Gathering of Lexus Vehicles. They not only believed in our vision, but supported it with resources that only the world's largest dealership could provide. I'm sure I speak for the entire Pursuit team when I say that it is truly a privilege to be associated with the Longo Lexus name.

To my fellow administrators - James, Ryan, and Bryan: it was a pleasure to work alongside you. To the rest of the team that together made the best event staff anyone has ever heard of: This year's event was better than ever, and the hard work, long hours and late nights truly paid off on Sunday. I join the rest of the Lexus community in saying "Thank you" to every single one of you.

To the 30+ sponsors who made this year's event truly memorable for so many - you guys are nothing short of awesome. Thanks for donating your time, resources, and products that help make the Lexus enthusiast community what it is today. Extra special thanks to Jav of Vossen wheels - who not only provided this year's grand prize, (a set of Vossen VVS-084 wheels!) but allowed everyone in SoCal the opportunity to meet Mike, better known as 1SICKLEX!

On behalf of all of us at The Pursuit, we hope all of you in attendance had a memorable time, especially those that traveled from San Diego, Northern California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas! This type of enthusiasm and camaraderie is what separates Club Lexus from every other community, and THIS is why we continue to work so hard to bring you a Pursuit that's better than the year before.

Thanks to everyone that made this years Pursuit the third success in a row!

Javier

Screw placeholders... I have PICS! haha. These are just a few from my iPhone.

Thank you to all the CL members/vendors who were part of the team that put this together. I had an AMAZING time. It was great meeting all the SoCal as well as out of state CL members! (I tried saying HI to as many of you as possible!). Also, I got on the track for the first time ever today - all i can say is, its a blast. I did 5 or 6 runs - got down to a .7 r/t, and got a best of 10.2 seconds for the 1/8 mile (Is250). This was my first - but definatly NOT last - pursuit!!!

On to the pics! (I'll post more pics later!)
