Best Day of my Life so far ( GTR content inside)
 

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

holy crap that is awesome! very nice MC!! :tup:

Man that is awesome!! I would have loved to have been given a GT-R hell! Especially on the track.:tiphat:

yeah they are offering these in the 3 largest markets for the GTR in the US and its designed for select owners to bring out their own GTRs to use for the activities aswell as use the 2013.... they really wanted me to attend one so i picked this first one at palm beach and since i flew down they provided me and a handful of others 2012's to use as our own cars for the day...and man those things took some abuse

Thats unbelievable! Look at all those! MMMMmmmMMMMM :)

Very nice! Definetley seemed like a great time. :tup:

wow!!! Nice wish I got invited! lol any vids?

yeah should have a bunch soon... all the 2013's had in car cameras so each driver got a custom GTR flash drive with their footage... i had to leave a few mins early to catch my flight so they are mailing me mine.. i had brought a mount for my droid razr but i was in and out of so many different cars i just never used it
