VIR Track day for GT-R owners: Monday, Feb23, 2009 - Nissan GTR Club.com - 2009 Nissan GT-R R35 Forums and Owners' Community (established 2006)

Hi everyone, here is information about the event:

VIR date confirmed Monday, Feb 23, 2009

Forged Performance is joining forces with NissanGTRClub, Koni Challenge team, and Freedom Autosports, to coordinate an exclusive GT-R only track day. The Left Coasters just pulled off a wonderful track event at Buttonwillow, so now it's our turn to show the country what the East Coast GT-R's are capable of.

So VIR is the track location. We are thinking of a Sunday drive in, and Monday track day. DerekFSU has offered to host a meet and greet at his condo located on the grounds of VIR....baller!

For those of you that haven't attended a track day, prepare to become addicted. Track days have often been refered to as the most fun you can have with your clothes on. And VIR is arguably one of the top three road racing circuits in the country. All levels of drivers are welcome to join.

Thanks Jeremy...we hope to see many of you there.
I counted at least 7-8 GT-R's in the Atlanta area. Great chances to let the GT-R's legs stretch, and one of the highest rated road course in the country!

Here are a few pics to warm you all up to GT-R Track Day goodness.

Yessir. We are allowing a handful of high performance cars, other than GTR's...especially if they are friends of GTR owners.

I hope you guys take a lot of pictures, as I'll be away on my 5th wedding anniversary vacation when this event takes place. So, everyone please post up some videos and pics here!

Yeah, I put the camera in Robert's car. He was very smooth.

Those are some wonderful shots. Glad you could make it as well!

Sharif@Forged · 02-24-2009, 09:09 PM

Anyone happen to get a final count of GT-R's? I think it was 21...but not sure.

totsubo · 02-25-2009, 10:31 AM

Thanks!

I counted 21 too (if you include me)

totsubo · 02-25-2009, 10:40 AM

I had three cameras in use that day. All the videos will become available once I edit and upload them. You can check the progress on my YouTube page:

Pictures are located here:

http://www.totsubo.com/VIR_2009-02-23/

I have the originals in 12 megapixels. Just send me an email if you want your individual picture: totsubo@totsubo.com

These are large files (4 MBs), so please be sure to check if you have enough space. If you want all the images in full resolution, burned on a DVD, I can probably manage that too.

Come see me at Caffeine and Octane this Sunday (March 1st, 2009). I should have some on me. In case you are wondering, I will give these out for free. However, if you use them online on in print, please make sure to say that the photos were taken by T.Otsubo.

Great. I sounted 19 on the track at the Oak Tree shoot, but we were missing one other guy, and possibly you??

totsubo · 02-27-2009, 10:58 AM

I left early. Had to get back to Atlanta.
