Default Lexus Booth at MFest VI

Sorry guys and gals no pictures here.

I attended MFest VI's track day at Las Vegas Speedway this year and was surprised to see a Lexus booth there with the Five Axis IS-F, GS-F Concept, and a few other Lexus vehicles. I know last year the LFA was there hitting the track.

I believe Ryan (flipside909) and gemini1 from here were there.

I was really hoping that Lexus being there--would have a few cars out on the track. Cadillac was there with a very strong presence, with many of their CTS-V's hitting the track hard! Lexus was the only vehicle there that remained stationary. Really bugged me, since Lexus is having this big push to be in the same ring with such competitors as the BMW M3 an Cadillac CTS-V.

Overall MFest VI track event was on point with plenty of different cars on the track, GT-R, Lamborghini Gallardo/Murcielago, Cadillac CTS-V, Subaru WRX, Lotus Exciege, etc.

If anyone took pictures of the Lexus booth you're more than welcome to post them up.

We had 2 cars registered to run, unfortunately one had misfiring issues on the way to the track that morning.

^ Yeah I saw that LS430... Why anyone track that instead of am F is beyond my understanding.

And the IS300, I would expect with all the IS-F owners present that one would be on the track putting some ground work like the M3's and CTS-V's.

Here's that video of me riding shotgun and Motohide behind the wheel. 2004 LS 430 with Falken FK452 tires and RS*R Super-i Coilovers. Skilled driver and the right equipment shows that the LS can hold its own, despite its size and intrusive VSC.
