Exclamation Are you ready to test drive the IS F for yourself?

https://www.clublexus.com/index.php?...503&Itemid=155

December 18, 2007 - Torrance, CA
- Lexus is pleased to invite you to the Lexus Performance Experience at Moroso Motorsport Park in Florida on January 19, 2008. We’ve prepared an exclusive driving event you won’t forget.
Starting with some hands-on instruction on the fundamentals of safe, high-performance driving, you will then warm up with a few laps on the 2.25 mile road course in an IS350, GS450h or GS460, to familiarize yourself with the track. You will then switch your attention to the amazing IS F, where you will experience the sheer power and superb handling capabilities of this high performance sedan. Starting as a passenger beside a professional driver, and then as the driver for a number of laps on the road course.
And finally, for those who dare, you will be able to experience a hot lap in the IS F with a race car driver at the wheel, to really appreciate this vehicle’s capabilities.

Space is limited. You must pre-register by visiting www.ISFdrive.com. You will be required to confirm a time and select which Lexus model you would like to start with – the IS 350, GS 450h or GS460.

You must be at least 21 years of age and have a valid drivers license to drive.

We look forward to having you as our guest!

**Space is limited, RSVP today!!! Spectators can attend and do not need to register... but will not be able to drive.**

Talking Please bring ISFDrive to DFW or within a day trip

1300 miles from my house!
I call foul! When do I get to go to Skip Barber Lexus?
Seriously though, this is awesome that Lexus is opening this up to enthusiasts! I hope they have a full tour and I most certainly hope that they have an event at Barber Motorsports Park or somewhere closer to the DFW area. They probably want lots and lots of runoff area, so Texas Motor Speedway is probably out, ROVAL! I need more information!

Here is a track map for Moroso:

So who is going?!

I'm a maybe hoping to transition to a definite. The hint of other events like this closer to me has me waffling but it seems like a great idea especially if we have a mini-CL turnout.

The simple answer is YES!

Anybody want to car pool / ride share from DFW area?

Is the closest airport West Palm Beach?

I almost wet myself when I saw this. Guess I will take the wife and kid for a trip to Jupiter. Only 215 miles from my front door. That'll be me.

I'll be there at 8 and I'm going to hang all day to meet as many members as I can.

Thanks for reminding me, let me get with the FL crew and plan a nice CL weekend.

Edit Thread here....lets see if we can plan a meet!!
