Looks like I missed out on a great trip!

I was at the same Denny's on I5 and 198 on Sunday, the day of the Pursuit, on my way back from camping at Sequioa National Park.

Thanks to you guys we made history Sunday, with over 600 attendees and over 400 Lexus vehicles on display - truly a sight to behold. I'm looking forward to the next time I get a chance to get away from SoCal and visit you guys up there! Until then, take care all of you and keep in touch!

Javier, thanks for the good times. These are the good old days ! Looking forward to seeing the SoCal Crew come up to NorCal in the coming year.

Also, special thanks to Tommy for opening his house and BBQ grill for some wonderful BBQ dinner, it was just what we needed after a long drive down from Norcal and having to deal with another member's overheating SC300, but we were all able to overcome all the problems that crept up and were all able to make it to the show and back home safely and ticket free (thanks Valentine One) and thank you god.

The turnout was just incredible, I have never seen so many modded Lexus cars in one place before. I am already planning on attending if there is another cruise/meet next year. The drive down to Socal was also quiet fun due to all the looks we all would get from other drivers along the route.

I returned back home at 8pm on Monday night, I came back home through highway 101 N so that I could show my wife (she has only been in the U.S.A. for a month now) the California coastline. We would have made it home sooner (left Ventura County around 12 noon), but the wifey wanted to stop along and way and shop.

Also, Glen, thanks for the leadership and helping to organize the cruise and logistics.

Thanks once again Socal family for all the love you showed us Norcal members.
Thanks for you and your wife joining us Mark. You packed in a lot over 3 days!

Looks like we need a CL Group Buy. Sequoia is a nice Park, but I prefer the asphalt Jungle.

Joseph, if Homer's your idol, then I'm the real thing.

It was an Awesome meet! Thank you socal for their hospitality, Tommy for welcoming us norcal to his place for a very delicious BBQ (heck, he even drove to the supermarket late at night and bought another 20lb or so of meat) and everyone else that made this event a reality and an unforgetable meet. I had a great time hanging out with the norcal and socal and even saw faces i haven't seen in years (Henry, Jonathan). Even though it was 100+ degrees it was worth it. We got a booth to hang out, we got fed In N Out burgers, I got to drag raced Aynako LS430 =) and hopelessly sad when i didn't win the SEMA grand prize, hehe JK. Too bad i had to drive back and missed the last part of the trip. All i can say is Lets do it again next year!!!!! and lastly thank you to Jeff for driving with me and making sure i got home safe and not falling asleep.... i think i had to pull over every couple of hours in the middle of the night to wake myself up.

Okay now I finally the chance to send my thanks to my NorCal family.

As many of you know, putting on any kind of meet is not as easy as most people think. There is a lot of legwork that is done behind the scenes to make things run smoothly. I am very proud to say that we now have the record for the largest Lexus owners and enthusiasts meet ever. With 400 Lexus cars on count, we couldn't have done it without your passion and support. The Pursuit accomplished a big goal...getting everyone together. For many, The Pursuit became a huge reunion of old friends and the start of new friendships.

I thank ever single one of you that made the drive down from all parts of NorCal (North Bay, East Bay, South Bay, Peninsula and not to forget Sac!). I've put on many meets in the past and have worked hand in hand over the years with Glen and crew to help bridge the gap between the NorCal and SoCal groups with both small and large scale events. Sharing experiences is one part of making group trips from long distances. Whether it's the off topic walkie talkie chatter, or run in's with 350z's or crazy drivers trying to pull stunts...it's all about the fun. I am very thankful that the many CL veterans from "back in the day" have come down to join in on the fun.

A special thank you goes to RMMGS4 for rallying the group and making the journey down a safe one. When it comes to long distance trips...many of you can attest to Glen being in-house AAA when it comes to quick repairs and such. Thank you for your continued leadership and being the "Dad" watching over everyone to and from.

Extra special thanks to Jeff and Stella for coming down out of their super busy schedule and documenting the NorCal convoy down and the meet! We can always count on you guys to document all the momentous events in NorCal, SoCal and everywhere else we see each other (Daly City, SEMA-Vegas and etc)!!!

To everyone that made it down, thank you for making the drive down and joining us in SoCal. We hope you guys enjoyed the food, the fun, the models, the racing, and fantastic SoCal weather! See you guys soon.

Regards,
Ryan

For those that didn't see the event coverage or did not make the trip down this year...videos and pics are on post#2 in the SoCal section.
