Default Lexus IS F CCS-R @ Pikes Peak 2013

Myself and several other SoCal Club Lexus members we're very fortunate to be invited to attend the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs this past weekend with Lexus HQ (Torrance) and Lexus International.

IS F Chief Engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi and Takashi Sakurai both came from Japan to watch the IS F CCS-R race up the hill.

Back in the drivers seat for the 2nd year was Ken Gushi. Who raced to the summit and finished 1st place in the Exhibition Class.

Here are just some of the pics I took. SoCal memebers that made the trip we're gemini1,JamesN ,V8_Aristo and CrazyMPG.

Aw man, I wish I knew you guys were going. I drove out from KY for the event in my ISF (well, first stopped in Vegas for a week). I was the SFP ISF with a bunch of blue painters tape and drawings on it.

I may have an extra that I picked up at the Fan Fest. If I do, it's yours next time you come out to Cincy.

Due to confidentiality reasons I already knew what he was going to say. So, NO.

Sorry.
