I apologize for not posting this over here sooner, there have been many 'reserve the date' and registration threads on various Lexus forums in the last few months for this MASSIVE Lexus event and registration is open for the First Annual East Coast Lexus Meet. We're anticipating this will be the biggest Lexus-only event on the east coast (and possibly biggest in the US) and are anticipating 200 - 300+ Lexus enthusiasts in attendance. For our inaugural east coast event, Lexus' factory sponsored race team (Team Lexus) has graciously offered to host us with an open house and a preview of the IS350 racecar being built for next season (mule car is in house, actual car is still on the boat over and may make it for the meet). We'll also have a drift patch setup to show off the new 600+HP Team Lexus drift IS300.
Please visit our meet website www.lexfest.net for more information; the snippets below are just a starter.

W H E R E
The Team Lexus race shop just outside of Baltimore, MD
A central location that most folks in the central-eastern US can get to (as well as other ambitious folks). The Baltimore / DC area was selected for the first annual meet because of the ready-built core group of Lexus enthusiasts within easy driving distance in the Northeast corridor that can make this meet a really big one. When Team Lexus volunteered their facility to host us, it became a no-brainer. Future Lexfest meets will be in different east coast cities each year to allow for changes of scenery and different groups of members to attend.

The www.lexfest.net meet website is up and running and will be constantly updated with new information about the event. We still need to add a bunch of additional content to it including details on the special events planned during the meet from our sponsors / vendors, special deal and location of meet hotels, lists of the raffle prizes, etc.
While only Lexus owners will have reserved show parking at the meet, we invite all Lexus and Toyota enthusiasts to attend. We'll have parking set aside very nearby in the complex for non-Lexus vehicles. The meet is free of charge for all who come.
We ask that people that are likely to attend register now so we can get a count of people coming for food and facilities planning. If it turns out you can't make it, just send me a PM or an email to [email protected] and we'll pull you off. Click on the register button below or click here to enter your registration information. Note that you won't show up right away on the 'confirmed attendees' page because there is an approval / review process.
