If I didn't have to sleep tonight to go to the races tomorrow I would finish my article on my car. There's a lot more black
I'll send you some hi-res pics on email but I promise to have the post/writeup/pics soon.

Ended up seeing the burn out on youtube.com. I've been itching for a new ride - might be an IS-F.

So, I got a couple pictures to share with comments about the car and event. Should I wait for an "official" thead on this or just toss them in?
BTW, it was good to see all you guys again.

Hey, I think you should hold on to it before the "Autolies" folks steal it... It turns out they also stole my photos and watermarked them with its gay AutoLies watermark. I am surprise they watermark it even my "copyright stuff was there... "
Any recommendations? Should I contact them and remove it from their site?

Makes me want to not post all my vids and pics. Maybe I'll put a fat watermark right in the middle of the pic obstructing the view!!!! For those of you who want more pics/videos you have one person to thank as the reason why people are not posting up anymore.

I would contact them, but you can thank one of your fellow CL members for posting all the stuff there without permission!!!! Makes me want to not post all my vids and pics. Maybe I'll put a fat watermark right in the middle of the pic obstructing the view!!!!

Well for the past three days the LGWNorCal staff has been working on our options to best protect our videos. Some testing is going on and we are trying to make the videos as hack proof as possible.
Nothing is impenetrable, but we will do what we can to minimize video piracy.
As a result, there will be a delay in the next release of videos.
I have viewed several of the videos. Lots of cool footage, both in the car, interviews with the test driver, drag race between an IS350 and IS-F, etc.
So all I can tell you is they will be worth the wait.
Optomistically, I see the first releases coming towards the end of this week.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Thanks for you patience.

Read our Upcoming Events thread, attend some LGWNorCal meets, become an active member, contribute to the local community by responding on our NorCal section, etc. Attending meets will get you on our e-mail list.
We have been a very tight knit group over the years. Any members who have been recently active would of had an opportunity to attend this.
I sent e-mails out to about 100+ people to attend the Monterey Historic event happening tomorrow through Sunday. Many local members are going back to Laguna Seca tomorrow for that event.
This IS-F event held yesterday is just an extention activity of the meet that we are going to attend tomorrow.
Here's that other meet thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=286588

I thought I'd add that the IS-F demo was a Lexus Corporate activity in which LGWNorCal was asked to facilitate the invite to members on their behalf, of which we were limited to ONLY invite 25 people.
As with our own LGWNorCal organized events, we would typically extend an invite to all on the forums, but because of the limitation set by Lexus, it became quite a dilemma for us to figure out who to invite and what would be the most fair way to prioritize the order of the invite.
As invites were sent out, when there were regrets to the RSVP, the invite would then go to the next people on the list until the 25 slots were filled.
If you responded to the invite to the Monterey Historics, PM'd me to attend the Historics as posted on the Event thread, then you were eligible for this activity.
Other ways to get on the list was if you attended any LGWNorCal event this year or attended previous EOS events, you were also eligible.
Do note that we usually take e-mail addresses at our meets which was the ONLY way you would of been contacted. Attending these activities but NOT signing in your e-mail would not get you on the list.
I do apologize that there were people on the above qualification list that still were not invited, since the available slots eventually filled.
An interesting note is that members such as 4Grainr (Arizona), yogi_TRD (Las Vegas), EDFSD (San Diego) and GSAristo (LosAngeles) were eligible because they attended LGWNorCal Sponsored events in the past, even though they are not technically from NorCal, (which was not a requirement).
For those that met the qualifications I described, but were not invited I do appreciate your understanding of this difficult situation.
Keep an eye out for the Montery Historic Event when it comes around next year. You might want to join us as "You Never Know" what good may come to those who attend.

I don't think I got an e-mail. I was at last year's EOS event. Oh well.
It's been a while since I've played with Flash and if I remember correctly, you can import a movie and then lighten up the file size and export the file as a .SWF file with a watermark or whatever you wish.
Might want to do that.

Yeah, we are playing with Flash and testing it out. We are also having some technical difficulties, so it gets more complicated than it appears.
