OMFG....I'm green with envy! I hope you got the names and numbers of the Lexus people that organized this. If you did, make sure you stay in touch and get the 'in' whenever they're back with the LFA.

Vik

your car looks great

I thought almost everyone there got to
ride in the LFA

I missed the morning intro session being
stuck in the traffic jam from an overnight
shooting

can you copy your info th the car talk section
we have a couple of active LFA threads

there were 7 folks with allocations
planning to attend
I met a guy from IN bot do not believe he
hits the web forums

I did meet a CL guy at the ISF driving piece

Here's my day

I was given a rare opportunity to ride along in the Lexus LFA, which you all know about This car is amazing, the braking was the most impressive riding around the track.


I was surrounded by a bunch of different Lexus dealers and salesmen from around IL and other states. There were only a couple of us that were from Club Lexus, My.IS or other forums.

This was my first time at the Autobahn in Joliet, IL. I had never really been to a road track either so all of this was very cool.















There were a lot of tuned ISx50 and ISF on display as well.
















Keeping the story short, I got there and sat through a driver's school to drive an ISF around the track, but due to club member's getting precedent I didn't get to drive around the track in an ISF.

I put my name on a board for riding in the LFA and waiting for about a half hour then it was fun time :bigSmile:























After my ride was over and I was preparing to leave I noticed Jeff (very nice guy who was checking tire pressure and maintaining the car through the laps) was filling up the LFA with fuel, so I went over and talked to him a little and snapped a few up close pictures.

















There were also some other cars there that were club member's vehicles.













HUGE thanks go out to the guys at Lexus letting a lot of us ride in this monster, and special thanks to jruhi4 as he got me into the event.
