Default 2-18-11 LFA Experience - Auto Club Speedway Fontana

Here are some of my pics I took last month at the Lexus LFA Experience at Auto Club Speedway last month. Unfortunately I had to work on that day so I finished the rest of the afternoon shooting pics instead. I got there right before it started raining hard. I was scheduled to drive the LFA on that day but I gave up my spot so the others worthy of experiencing this fine machine can do so. For those that have been to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, their infield track is very flat and a bit boring...and in my opinion not a good place for the LFA to really shine. Despite the rain in the end of the day, there were a good handful that got to try "WET" mode. I still managed to get a few pics in before the heavy rains and since I was already scheduled to go to the Infineon Raceway the next weekend after, I didn't mind the wait. More about the LFA Experience at Infineon Raceway weekend and more coming soon...

I'm not a fan of HDR, hence the reason why all my pictures are never post processed. Enjoy:

Whats with the wires in the one picture with the yellow LFA? Are they checking engine temps or something along those lines?

Only wire I see is the one coming off the mic to the camcorder with the guerilla tripod on it.

LFA #P014 coming in for service:










Original Matte Black (Chameleon) LFA comes in for service.












The folks from B.A.D. Company take the LFA away to get the wrapped Orange peeled off. The car is returned to Pearl Gray in time for the IS Precision Tour the next day.

Flip, thanks for the pics. I wish you had a direct overhead pic of the swatches!

Looks are deceiving! He has over 40 cars in his collection, exotics included.

I have a pic of the whole kit somewhere. I might have accidentally deleted them. Next time I see the kit, I'll be sure to take detailed photos of every single swatch and paint chip.
