so i had the best day of my life yesterday.. was invited out to the 2013 GTR experience in west palm beach FL by nissan north america... it was first class all the way .... when i got there a 2012 GTR was provided for me with my own tent with my name on it... aswell as i was given a customized bell helmet and jacket to take home with me... the event was instructed by the skip barber team and featured AutoX ( on a Go kart track)
lane change exercises 1/4 drag race and then the road course... thoughout the day we also go to use the 2013 GTR... so they stuck me in a $107K car and said have at it......

it was all day from 8am-5pm and I ended up with about 20 drag strip runs and i won the head to head drag competition in my group with my straight wins... also lot of track time on the road course....

my favorite part of all was i got to meet one of the lead engineers from japan aswell as the former manager for NISMO japan and current global marketing manager for the GTR... nicest people ive ever met and the engineer shared alot of info with me especially tips to best launch the car

check out a few pics

road course video coming soon. they had in car cameras for all of the 2013's and put all our footage on a super nice flash drive...but i had to leave 20 mins early to catch my flight home so they are mailing me mine
