The 2023 British car show season is starting up. Please check our website calendar for events you might have missed... Did you know that the DC Chapter of Lotus Ltd will be having a 3-day revisit to Canaan Valley Resort, where LOG was held last September? June 9 - 11; details on signing up are on our calendar.
____
The first event coming up in April is the Colonial Challenge Cup - Thursday, April 13th, at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia. If you want to drive at an HPDE day, you might still be able to sign up... if you hurry. Registration at: www.motorsportreg.com/events/ccc-track-day-summit-point-colonial-challenge-cup-664371
To spectate, bring a Lotus (including all Sevens), and get in free. We will have a common parking/display area, since we are the featured marque. Come out and enjoy the day! Details on the calendar.

Britain on the Green, the first big British car show of the year, will be held Sunday, April 30th. We always have a good Lotus turnout; make sure you sign up; the more Lotus we have, the better chance we have for having our own class, and getting the maximum number of trophies for Lotus! Register now, here - www.tickettailor.com/events/capitaltriumphregister/823973 Details (are you detecting a pattern here?) on the calendar.

We are in the process of finalizing GYLO 24 - our regular local gathering of Lotus cars. Hard to believe, but we did our first Get Your Lotus Out in 2011!
We have generally done two per year, but Covid forced us to do two virtual GYLOs in 2021, and we did not have a Spring 2022 GYLO. We are looking
forward to returning to a Spring & Fall GYLO for 2023. This year's return to form starts with GYLO 24, on Sunday, May 28. More details soon!

This just in from NoVA Lotus President-For-Life, Mark Franke... "We are reviving the NoVA Lotus Cars and Crabs event, scheduling it for Sunday, June 11th.
Bring a car, eat some crabs - it's always a blast! We will also have barbecue shrimp and adult beverages." Details to follow, soon!
In between the big British car events, get your Lotus fix at your local cars & coffee... For example, Katie's Cars & Coffee
(760 Walker Rd. Great Falls, VA) happens every Saturday, all year. I am there with a Lotus, almost every Saturday.
Get there by 6:30AM, to get a decent parking space. An average Saturday has a few hundred cars showing up.
We often have a couple of Lotus there (as well as LOTS of other interesting vehicles). During peak season (June-July-August),
there can be over 500 cars in the 4-square-block shopping village where Katie's is located. Can't get up that early? Show up after 8:30AM,
and there are SOMETIMES a few open parking spaces... but you won't see me - I leave by 8:30AM, freeing up a space up front!
NoVA Lotus also occasionally does impromptu get-togethers, usually on holidays. If you're on this email list, you will be notified.
If you have an car event you'd like to publicize, let me know, and we will look at adding it to the calendar.
Keep your eye on the NoVA Lotus calendar, so you don't miss out!
