I've been to BMW, Benz events in a Lexus. I park and enjoy things, I don't expect to enjoy the same priviledges as the people who the event is about, even if we are all enthusiasts.

Event looked like a BLAST, the pics are breathtaking!! Great work to Ryan and everyone involved and to all the SPONSORS who came through in this slower economy.
I agree with SICK, I don't really think the BMW guys were trying to run on the 1/8 Mile Drag Strip, I think they were being called out by a few members, as a joke though and then especially when we saw other "NON" Lexus cars on the 1/8 Mile drag strip...

Thanks everyone.

Going forward please comment on the event and post with your glass half full. What event is perfect? Have you hosted an event? I have and the work and planning it takes is countless, especially since its not a job, more than likely you don't get paid, you do it on your free time and you do it for love.

Lexus owners are simply not the traditional car owner. Its not as easy as getting a BMW, Benz, Mustang, Civic etc owner out. Its a HUGE accomplishment to get enthusiasts out considering most non owners see Lexus as a non enthusiast brand. Much respect to ANYONE hosting and leading any Lexus meet or show or event.

Going forward I would like to see positive posts. We are now aware of what some issues were and I'm sure they will be address in the future.The moderator team and myself do not want to be deleting post after post.

Thanks.

haha yeah...those "non" Lexus cars were part of "The Pursuit" crew working the event...we have to have our fun for doing a lot of work...

oh and the BMW guys were very cool...I was talking with a few of them and I was admiring their cars!!! They also were amazed at the GT-R so it's all good...

Maybe If I didn't want to save my car for the October 11 track event, I would have been out there getting smoked by your 350 also!

Good Job Buddy
that was the point I had a feeling leadin up to the event that I was gonna blow my motor or my tranny either way I pushed it HARD everytime I ran it down the track big burnout squeeze out of the hole all the way to the finish I love when people think just cause its a 350 or just cause its a lexus its slow I will run a C6 vette all day long from a dig or a 20mph roll with confidence I am going to open some eyes these cars are no joke and just look sooo damn good!

will help transfer weight to the back and get you hooked up
I will try this next time I go out to the track! thanks for the advise!

oh yeah, windex, you dont need to remove it, disconnecting the endlinks (bottom portion obviously) or removing them should be more than enough \

keep the pics coming guys!
