OK, this is just the thread starter. We need to coordinate much to pull this off. We want to look for volunteer leaders to help us put this together, especially CL members in Dallas. We want to look for sponsorship for the meet, setting up a BarBCue, a show of each members' individual cars, Babes to be at the show, find the track for the races, a dyno to pull HP and TQ results of each members' ride, plus prizes, trophies, music, etc...

Can we put this together? Come on. Let's make this happen...

Start listing your suggestions, thoughts, and what else you can volunteer...

Remember, the Slogan is V8 in 08

Please keep in mind that we are encouraging all Lexus owners to come out and compete in the Car Show, as well as those that just want to run their cars for time, and then those that want to compete for possible purse money. We also want to encourage all Lexus enthusiasts to participate as spectators. We would like to get a couple of hundred people to this event. If it is successful, we intend to make it an annual event. We have found a track, more details to come. So, come on and sign up as spectators now, and we will add those to a spectator list...

Hey Guys, I just spoke with Ryan and although he and I are focused on V8 powered cars for our own personal reasons, This is an open to all Lexus enthusiasts event. Let’s make this huge! If Ryan and David are willing to come from opposite coasts then this has to be big! I will take a short 11 hour drive from KS to attend this event! This event will be huge; we need some locals to step up and help pull this off!

 

Looking forward to this event. Sounds like a fun gathering.

 

The earlier the date is set, the better. I will try to get the SE guys going...

Texas, STAND UP!

 

Scott is correct gang...This event is open to all Lexus enthusiasts, and all can participate, and should...We are just using the V8 theme, because there are beginning to be several V8's that are being modified for performance, and we want to all get together in one place with our cars...

Spread the word...

Ryan

 

I'm down. I live one mile from Westside Lexus here in Houston, it's probably the nicest one out of the four dealerships (due to them having the largest and newest service center).

Yes there are a few tracks in and around Houston. Let me link you to some:

butt immm I6...

 

but as long as u got the 'L' on the ride.. they said it's ok.

 

I will make this for sure. I would say the Westside dealership also, it is def. a nice one, even though Ive never seen northsides dealership. Bernie listed the 4 tracks that are here, all of them are very nice. We need to make sure and get this thread stickied so noone forgets about it.

 

You're good to go...Bring It!!

Ryan
