I am not sure if these dates are accurate. I attended the session in Anaheim, and it was on a Saturday, not a Friday. I believe the session in Los Angeles is also taking place on a Saturday, not a Tuesday.

I attended the Anaheim event (which was on a Saturday, not a Friday as mentioned above). I had a random email invite sent to me, but if you're able to go, DO IT! I took my buddy with and it was awesome experience and a lot of fun. It was way better then I expected and we were even able to drive an Audi, BMW, and MB as a comparison. My driving video was sent to me in an email with a $1K off certificate a week or two after the event. I loved the experience and car so much, that I was at the dealership a week later buying a new IS FSport!

Here's my first laps video which was about 38-40 seconds. My second lap which was 30.789 seconds didn't record for some reason!! Time-to-beat at the time (to win the ride in the LFA) was around 30.02 seconds .

I had signed up on the Lexus website to receive all the news/offers for the new IS a couple of months before it came out. I assume that's how they got my contact info. and just picked me at random.

I just got my invite for the foxboro event and signed up too!!! Sunday the 18th

Need to brush up on my driving skills so I can score a ride in the LFA. I've never even seen an LFA in person so I'll at least get to do that!

11:15am. We don't get many events like this around here but I'm sure once the event is over he/she will get a list of participants and their contact information

We will have to meet as I will be there at 11:15 as well. It would be nice to actually meet another CL member in person.

Sounds like a plan! Let's take it to PM right before the event.
