I made it to the afternoon session. I got there around 12 and had a nice lunch and got to talk to some of the guys and look hands on at the F-Sport parts. It was also nice to see the IS350 with all the parts installed on it and hear it and see it move on the track. The weather held out the whole afternoon and it was perfect racing weather. I did have a blast taking the ISF around the track. I am not so sure my passengers in the car liked my last lap around the track and I was really pushing the ISF to see what she could do. Now, my big problem is, do I buy and ISF or do I buy F-sport parts to upgrade my IS 350. Any thoughts on it?

Brian, too bad you missed out of the event today. It was a blast and I even sand bagged James on the early racing event so I could win a Lexus hat. LOL Thanks James!!! I am going to go on May 11th at 3:30 pm for the follow up event. Anyone else going to be there? And do you guys know if they are going to let us take out any of the cars on the track?

Ah Angelo,

I wanted to go with you and James. Mike (Passnu2) was unable to go as well. We are both going on May 10th for a little track fun. I hope you all took some pics to post. I am really looking forward to this event and it looks like everyone had a great time.

I was at the event yesterday also, had a lot of fun! I was the bald guy with the goatee. It was nice to experience the ISF on the track and on the autocross course!

I'm thinking about doing the May 9th or 10th event also...

It was good to meet you! What did you think of all the F-Sport goodies on the instructor cars? Are some of those on your shopping list now?!

ToothDoc: Any video from your runs?
