Our Club

The Lotus Club for Owners who don't know the meaning of "winter storage"

The Lotus Club of Southern California represents Lotus owners and enthusiasts from the car culture capital of the world. With hundreds of miles of mountain roads, the breathtaking Pacific Coast Highway, numerous tracks, and year long sunshine, there's no better place on earth to drive a Lotus. Our members and events stretch from San Diego all the way up north until we hand it over to our big brother, the Golden Gate Lotus Club. As a proud affiliate of one of the oldest and largest Lotus clubs in the world, our chapter was founded in 2015 to combine the efforts of multiple, local groups and individuals who enjoy all things Lotus. We invite you to join us at the track, in the mountains, on the beach, at the coffee shop, in the garage, or even sitting in traffic on the 405. Because no matter where you are, it's always better to be there with a few Lotus!

Our Board Members

These are the people getting paid a ton to organize all the meetups, drives, and track days. Be sure to complain loudly to them if you don't like something because again, they get paid a lot.

Mark Ditko

Director of Zen – Founding Member

The first time Mark saw a car in Glendale that wasn’t a blacked out Mercedes, he had no idea what it was. He also had no idea how much of his life he would end up dedicating to it. Read the story here.

Carlos Martinez

Head Finance Dude – Founding Member

Carlos controls the club’s bank account, which makes him the club’s most popular member. We have only the most wonderful things to say about him and his Evora. Read his story here.

Mathew Kaplan

Website Pit Crew – Founding Member

Matt is the guy that writes these little blurbs. So, it would be kind of weird if this one was super interesting and way better than the rest, right? You can click and read more if you want, but don’t feel obligated.

Liyan Zhu

Student Driver

Organizes track days and canyon runs.

Owen D

Track Day Organizer

Lotus enthusiast for life

Theodore Garland, JR

InstaFluencer – Recovering Lotus Addict

Ted lives for track days, and his first was in December of 2017 with this club at the Streets of Willow Springs (2011 Lotus Evora). That was sufficient to start the addiction. Thanks (I think)! Ted updates our Instagram account, helps with events, and sometimes coaches.
