BTW, I've heard concerns about some folks not having received their confirmation e-mails for the Moroso event tomorrow. Fear not, here's the reply I got from Lexus:
Bryan, pls check the list.
But gents, if they registered on-line, then they are good to go, with or without receiving confirmation email. We used a 3rd party for email, so maybe a slight oversight.
Please let them know they are set to go.
Thanks
Justin

I took pics but FORGET the cable, so I can't upload tonight.
My car is beat, driving 7 hrs from ATL, straight to the drag strip to run the 1/4 mile

It would have been nice for some more FL members to make the drag night. The lines were real short from my understanding.
And yes, we saw all the IS-Fs and GS cars parked together. The same ones we will drive around in a few hours.
I gotta wash the car and be there for 7:30

All I can say is WOW. This is the most hardcore production car Toyota has ever made. I agree with Mike 100%... Lexus once again has COMPLETELY outdone themselves in a market/demographic most of the public would consider completely outside of the company's comfort zone. Never in a million years did I ever see myself saying that a Lexus has almost TOO MUCH throttle response.
The event was NOTHING like Taste of Lexus, where you get yelled at if you're going over a leisurely 45mph. If they were to make this an all day racing school, I would actually pay to attend. Thanks to Lexus for doing this for us!

Just got home from hanging out with the guys at daisy dukes. They're still cruizing around ft. laud but I need to rest. Gotta get up for church early.
It was cool seeing familiar faces and a couple new ones. Finally met Mike (1sicklex) and he's a pretty cool guy. Mostly, a real CL'er to ride down to hang with the gang. I'm tempted to get back out there and catch up to them. Anyway. it was a blast.

The Lexus ISF drive event was awesome. The Lexus people were very cool and supportive. Short write-up here.

This was the most fun I had driving my car in a long time!
I drove down on Saturday morning with the wife trailing me to go spend time with the family and allowing me to be a kid again!
Upon arrival I was able to catch up with Adrian(Bluelex), before he left home to get a quick wash of the ride. We departed for the Lexus IS-F meet and arrived to the park around 12:30. It was nice to meet old friends and make new friends as well! Although I didn't get a registered spot to drive the IS-F, member Smooth 1(Dennis) was able to get myself, Bluelex, and Teelex a hook up for the test drive. Thanks Dennis!
Lexus laid out the red carpet as usual for this event and I want to thank all those that took the time to cooordinate this event!
(The drive)
Well with a little twisting the arm of Bluelex,and Teelex, we made it to the class and got registered! During the 20 minute wait we talked shop and took a look at the interior/ exterior of the IS-F as they got a full tank. The time came for us to drive and drive is what we did. We collectively chose to drive the GS460 as our tune-up car prior to driving the F! I was impressed with the way the car handled and that they allowed us to really put the pedal to the metal!
(IS-F)
All I can say is wow! This car was intimidating for me for two reasons. I didn't want to wreck this beauty of a car knowing I couldn't pay for it, and fear of the unkown! On my first lap in the first turn, I went off the track just a little bit
, getting use to the response and braking. It was a blast the rest of the way around the track! This car was more than what I expected and then some!
The handling and power of the IS-F, was tremendous. A true owner would find themselves cheated by not taking this car to the track every few months. Unfortunately I couldn't afford one of these bad boy's, but it would sure be a nice gift...... anybody willing?![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
(Playing/ Cruising in South Florida!)
As with any good thing, the driving and the day had to end.
The members who were left at the track all departed at the same time and you know what that means.....time to play catch up!
The drive from Moroso was alot of fun seing Ed, Steve, Mario, Adrian, Terry, Clive,and Wayne play on the strip home as I tried to keep up!
We all went home and freshened up a little and headed out to Daisy Dukes for the night and a cruise on Ft. Lauderdale beach. The drive to and from home was the fastest I have ever traveled from Palm Beach to Broward county ever. We were tested by bimmers, cycles and even a trucker!
They were all owned!![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Thanks for a great time guy's and I hope you all made it home safe!
Kofi, Eric, and Mike you are true troopers for CL! Thank's Blue for the hospitality!
