NoVA Lotus - Get Your Lotus Out Event, Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026 - 9:00AM

[rcollum]

Our twice-a-year event is very casual for any newcomers. (We welcome ALL Sevens!)

We hand out awards from a popular vote and have a raffle for all attendees. The
record turnout for the event is 44 cars and we always hope for a couple more. The event
usually lasts a couple of hours and folks come together for lunch afterwards. Note: We have a

new location as the old one in Great Falls is under construction.

● Date: Sunday, September 13th, 2026
● Time: 9:00 AM
● Location: Changed! We are heading back to the hotel we used for our East Coast Lotus Meet, back in May, 2026:

Hilton Hotel Fair Lakes: 12777 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax, Virginia 22033

Attendees often organize drives, before or after our GYLO events.  Please feel free to do that!

OK, my Seven is clean, and ready for our Get Your Lotus Out event, being held Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, at 9:00AM at the Hilton Fair Lakes, 12777 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax, Virginia.  It's a nice, big, safe parking lot.  

 

We will have a popular vote among the attending cars, and also a raffle for attendees that bring a Lotus or Seven.  Join us for lunch at the hotel after, if you like.  

 

Attendees often organize drives, to or from the event.

We ended up with a fair showing - 14 Lotus, but I had the only Seven there.  It never rained, so we had a great time!  A really good variety of Lotus models - my Seven, plus an Emira, a couple of Evoras, Elises, Exiges (including a really cool S1 Exige!), an M100 Elan, and two older Elans - and, an Esprit!
