Laguna Seca August 23, 2012
S2000, you are 100% correct on your guesses. You can see the yellow "Pittsburgh Cars 'N' Coffee" sticker on my windshield...
Fantastic experience. Thank you, Lexus! Event of a lifetime! Very gracious and generous hosts.
Yes, many hours of vid to follow. MANY hours. I had six GoPros on my car!
Wait for it...wait for it....wait for it...
BTW, Scott Pruett scared the **** out of me in the IS F CCS-R

Looking forward. to your videos lunaC42
Glad you had a super time
Did you get a ride in a ring car or perhaps sit in the LF-LC
Did any of the other owners have any particularly interesting stories to tell
And was Jeff,my favorite LFA tech there

There were only customer Nürburgring cars at the event. I'm sure one of the owners would have given me a ride in one, but Lexus USA doesn't have a corporate Nürburgring car,* so I just opted to spend my track time actually driving. Except for the CCS-R hot lap, of course.
I got about an hour nap yesterday morning, besides sleeping on the plane. It wound up being a pretty hectic trip as my flight out of Monterey was so delayed that I would have missed my connection, so I had to scramble to rent a car and sprint up to SFO, thankfully without any police interference and I boarded the plane with about 15 minutes to spare. I think I slept about 12 hours straight last night.
* yet.

WoW awesome event..!!! 
Truly amazing to see Authentic LFA owners getting together & driving their own rides..!!!!
You know Jeff too.. !?
He has one of the BEST positions at Lexus if you ask me..
We have spoken on a few occasions over the last year.. Most recently @ Pikes Peak w/ the IS F CCS-R.

Joe,
I first met Jeff at the Homestead event prior to receiving my allocation.
He was at the Autobahn event and the Infineon driver development event I attended.
Jeff was always willing to answer questions and takes amazing care of the growing number of LFAs.
