In August, Lexus (http://www.autoblog.com/lexus/) held its Unleash the LFA (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/06/lexus-launches-unleash-the-lfa-contest-w-video/) contest on Facebook, with the winner getting to spend the day in its LFA (http://www.autoblog.com/lexus/lfa/) supercar (at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mazda%20raceway%20laguna%20seca/), no less), receive track instructions from pro driver Scott Pruett (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Scott%20Pruett/) and also win a three-day High Performance Driving Experience at Skip Barber Racing School (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Skip%20Barber%20Racing%20School/). In a random selection, Mark Clemons of Culver City, California was the lucky winner, and on September 18, he collected his prize.

Then it was Pruett's turn behind the wheel, and he proceeds to give Clemons the ride of his life, something that almost almost goes without saying.
Scroll down (http://www.motorgen.com/2012/10/15/lexus-lets-one-lucky-fan-loose-on-laguna-seca-in-lfa/#continued) to watch the video where there's plenty of great footage showing Clemons piloting and riding as a passenger in the LFA at the legendary track.Continue reading Lexus lets one lucky fan loose on Laguna Seca in LFA (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/15/lexus-lets-one-lucky-fan-loose-on-laguna-seca-in-lfa/)
