I was there and I actually loved the show from start to end. Everything was well organize, from the fly honeys, drift show (flipping awesome), bike stunt and more fly honeys ;-) not to mention the rides. Club Lexus was also represented (TSV) big-up... Will defiantly hit-up HIN next time. Sux that my cam battery died, could not take that many pictures.

u say that now, but when you experience it, all you want to do is take pictures with the hot girls, look at cars, take more pictures, kiss the hot girls, drink free soda samples, take more pictures, and harass random people LOL

It was pretty fun and wished some of clublexus members would have joined us so we could have took best group participation. Atleast we had a couple of lexus repping big time at the event with there impressive dyno runs. Props to those 2 Is300 that won the dyno events. One put out about 480hp and the other put out about 900hp.

Excellent pics, I use to go to the Chicago event in January, but I have not gone the past couple of years. It is always a good time and my buddy's have won trophies for their Supra's in the past. At least the Chicago event is indoors at the McCormack Place and it is a big venue. An outdoor event would be nice in Chicago summer. Looks like you all had a great time.

thanks for the comments! but as a correction, my IS300 put down 692 RWHP. the other FIZZ/Swift Racing Technologies IS300 put down 923 RWHP (while spinning wheels on the dyno).

692 HP:


923 HP:
