Lexus Racing ??
Does Lexus do anything special at events where they are racing ie: the 24 Hours of Daytona 2 weeks ago, which Lexus won.
For example: Ducati usually has a owners only area/tent with food and refreshments as well as autograph sessions, giveaways etc...

Yes they do - we ususally post about it in the regional forums when we learn about it or are invited by Lexus Corp to participate.
We'll have something like this year on the east coast with Team Lexus and Lexfest 2006, likely at Road Atlanta w/ an ALMS event. Last years was held near Balitmore at the Team Lexus facility.
