I think the first meet should be at an In-n-out or pizza place.

I also want to race carts indoors and see what my 350 can do in the 1/4 mile at the raceway (wednesday nights, $7 admission, $15 race). I have never experienced either form of racing and both seem like perfect 2nd and 3rd meets. I also like the idea of a drive through curvy roads of the foothills.

I think maybe we should do monthly 'casual' meets where we can plan other activities that require more of a time or financial commitment.

This has been my idea all along. Small Monthly Casual meets, mostly social stuff. Then every 2-3 months we can have a bigger more exciting meet with a bigger budget. I don't want to go to a race track the first time out the gates and scare off all the non-race types right away. We are trying to grow, not shrink

I just got back from LA and my plate is SUPER full. I will post more within the next few days. Be on the look out

Hey guys! My wife & I just picked up our new GS400 on Wed, (2000, pearl white, GS400) and on the way back (on 80, between Arco Arena, and the split) I saw a GS400 in pearl white also. It had HID's, spoiler, yellow fogs, tinted windows, and a body kit.... Just wondering if it was anybody on here? It looked like a very clean ride!

Oh yeah, and to keep this on topic.... Hey guys! Just bought a GS 400. I'm down for meeting up local too!

Thats why we are brainstorming here. One of the first CL meets I have ever attended way back like 3-4 years ago took place at a race track. Thats what had gotten me so hooked to the Northern Cal Lexus club. That made me think that if these guys are cool enough to do something like this then thats is where I want to be.

Lets throw out some more ideas and lets all agree on them as a group.

You might want to take a look in the "Spotted" sticky in the Northern California Region.

Thumbs up Sacramento Dinner Meet & Greet

I'll check up on it tomorrow for you.


Also! New meet idea.

Since most of us dont know each other over here in the Sacramento area, I think it would perfect for us to just have a simple "Meet & Greet" dinner at one of the great restaurants in Roseville near the Galleria. It would be great because it would give us all a chance to get to know who everyone is, share ideas, tell someone who you are, etc. I rarely bring my car out to meets anymore but for this one I will. Also, I was thinking maybe we can choose a section of the parking lot which is the most emptiest and have everyone park there for a couple group pictures. Non Sacramento members are welcome also. To all members interested please post up.

Perfect idea guys. I was planning on that as the first meet anyway. Just had some real life stuff happen and have yet to have time to post things up.

Sounds great though
