I don't think you missed much in terms of the prize for the fastest lap time. The last time they did this ... the prize was a lap around the course in the black LFA.
Definitely lowering it. Waiting for springs from Japan for test fitment...taking a while, long enough I'm considering getting other springs in the meantime. Yeah, my buddy got screwed...he took a "drift" lap in the IS350 and not the ISF. LOL

Although it's been probably 5 years since I last did it, I put a few seasons in SCCA Solo2 autox and that experience definitely helped (personally, I think even getting a drivers license should require autox-type time behind the wheel). Yeah, it was fun, kinda got my juices flowing again. I should've spent some time in the non-timed ride and drive area.

I missed out I hope this event happens again next year.
I remember when I did a Lexus event a few years back at Irwindale?, I drove the IS350 on the auto-x course and beat the pro drivers' times. They all complimented me and said great driving. Having said that, I would've smoked all of you

Yes your time would have been better had you took the non-timed rides first. I still had a blast!

Wow that's impressive if you can beat the pro. You would definitely would have smoked all of us.

I agree with your assessment ... the LS was big for sure, but it handled quite well for it's size in Sport+ mode.

This was also a great opportunity to go crazy in the GS to see what it can really do since we can't drive like this on the streets.

For such a tight course, I liked the handling on the AWD IS-350 F-Sport though.

I don't know about you, but it felt kinda funny driving back home after beating on all those cars on the track.
Yes you have have left by the time I was done drifting the LS around the track. Seriously that thing was very predictable. I was sliding around most of the corners and very proud that I didn't knock down that many cones haha
