Default 12 GTR's at Buttonwillow Raceway!

Was lucky enough to be invited to this event. 12 R35 owner's rented Buttonwillow raceway for a whole day($4300) so they could have some fun with these machines. Met Craig Lieberman as well (owner of Fast and Furious Orange supra, blue R34, wide body kit MR2...etc) Right now he's driving a bad *** Audi S4. He was a really cool guy to hang out with.

Sorry the cars are dirty but what do you expect, these are not trailer queens and it was nice to see them driving it hard! Onto the pics.....


1.
This was shot actually towards the end of the day and 2 cars ended up leaving already.


2.


3.
This guy was rippin it up pretty good all day.

4.
This guy also owns a fleet of other cars....all in yellow.

5.


6.
This is my boy Darin's R35. Make fun of it all you want, that is one bad *** wing. Check out the video if you dont know.

Had to rig it up at a track! Too bad he was in such a hurry to grab some food, the rig shots came out like ****.

9.
Thought this was hilarious.

Yea, had a great time besides nearly giving Warren(old guy in the yellow truck) a heart attack by crossing a "hot track". LOL. It's common sense but when a car is 20sec away from you, I think it's safe to cross the road. If you get run over, you deserved it. But I know....rules are rules.

The white one with the custom wing is sick. The yellow one is owned by James Chen of Axis Wheels(for those who dont know).
