yesterday was a good day at the track, I got to race the new Nissan GTR to see if I can keep up with it, I did pretty good! against a car that's built for racing with 200 Horse power more than me, lol!..here're the videos I took yesterday of me and my car.

Warming up the tires!.



Me and the New GTR go head to head.

I saw you there yesterday, I was in the stands with my GF. Were you using 20"s on the back? I think you can do a better job using bigger profile tires, those kept you spinning at the start.

Nice GTR!!! It looks so nice in person, specially watching that killer launch!

Next time I'll go in and race, watching was nice but I wanted to be behind the wheel, not in the stands.

Yes...I need better tires on the back, more traction is what I need.
