Here it is the official thread for the largest LX event in the country. This is a mega meet with over
400 LX vehicles from all over the country and this year we expect over
500. We will have special guest from Chrysler, food and entertainment, this is the event to be at. If you have never heard of or been to the Spring Festival of LX’s then you will be in for an awesome weekend. There is everything from stock to wild, every LX model; you name it and its here. Members drive from all over the country and caravan to the event. If you have any questions about the event, travel or lodging just make a post and we will help you.
The registration is up and ready. This year we have changed the registration process. JonW has created a website that will allow you to register for the event, hotel and driving experience (thanks Ozzie). This page will have the most current and up to date information for the event and will be updated with new information as it is available. The page will also display all those who have registered for the event in real time. This means that we will no longer have to update all of the forums with who registered, what’s new, etc., you can simply go to socallx.com and see what’s happening, who’s attending, where they are from and so on.
