Default Massive GT-R - Nissan Track Day at VIR Feb 23

Hi everyone,

We have been working with the various GT-R forums and Koni Challenge Team Freedom Autosports, to coordinate an exclusive Nissan/GT-R track event at VIR.

I hope some of you hotshoe 350Z drivers can attend, and show these guys what some good driving can accomplish...even against Godzilla.

Import Tuner Magazine will be providing media coverage for the event. We are creating quite a buzz!


PM me if you have any questions about the event


UPDATE 1-8-2009

Ok guys, the signup/payment link is all setup on our online store.

I looks like we are going to have about 20 participants once all is said and done. We also have to factor in some instructors/coordinators, and some general prep work for the event, so we are going to finalize the pricing at $425.

Keep in mind, if you attend any other typical track day, you are lucky to get 1 or 1.5 hours of track time, and you'll pay at least $300-$400 for it. In this event, the track will be wide open for 8 hrs, split between 2 or maybe 2.5 groups, so expect more track time than you can probably consume.

We are all looking forward to a terrific event!

VIR date confirmed Monday, Feb 23, 2009


Forged Performance is joining forces with Nagtroc, and Koni Challenge team, 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.

Oh Derek Whitis is a relative local. I just saw the green GT-R the other day. Wish I had the money right now.

Man, I wish VIR was closer to Texas . . . $425 entry fee is a great deal.

Please clarify, is this a GT-R only thing, or is it open to others?

For that price I am assuming its the full course? Not a bad price for a open track.

It is the Full Course, and basically a private day for the attendees. It is open to a few of my 350Z bretheren.

After the first couple hours, I suspect the track will be completely wide open. 20 total participants at the Full Course makes for some wide open track!

I noticed that NASA has the 3 days before this event. The first day, 20 Feb, is a supercomp school with open practice. The next two days are HPDE days.

I wanna see all the south, southeast, and eastern speeddemons there.
