2013 US G.D. - Racecamp is finished! Nick McMillen (GumballCGT) is our champion!

[lapierre4]

Hi guys, I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck in NY, I can perfectly imagine how you are feeling as the days pass! I hope there is no drama like last year and that everyone has a blast together - this is a great group racers. So yeah have fun and good luck, I can't wait to hear about the competition!

 

[carracerptp]

Best of luck all 👍

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Just checked in.

Last row of the plane. At least it's a window seat.

 

[iamsupernasty]

Looks like there's 6 of us into LGA at that time. I'll pm everyone and see who wants to share a ride then I'll get us a shared ride.

My vote would be that the three of us get a cab and meet everyone else in the city. Maybe I'm a grumpy old fart, but I can think of funner things than waiting at LGA for an hour. Things like, eating Pizza in Times Square....

I'm ok with whatever you decide though.

 

[Going in Hot]

So guys who get into LGA at 6pm I booked a van that will be at the us air terminal.

Lharrison 6P
MahouShoujoChan 6p
outlaw4rc 6p
GoinginHot 6p
Thre3kgt 6p

I'm not sure what airline all of you are flying in on, but this terminal is in the middle and shouldn't be too far for us to meet up. Look for a guy with a "GT Academy National Finalists" sign.

Edit: swapping cell numbers, a good idea nasty. I'll pm you guys my number if you're running late or can't find us.

 

[iamsupernasty]

Well that makes it easy for us

Chris and YZF: lets share a cab since we all arrive within 5 minutes of eachother. We can just meet at the cab stand? Lets swap cell number s via pm to coordinate.

 

[JoeyFast22]

Good luck and safe travels everyone. See you in the city.

 

[L_Harrison]

So guys who get into LGA at 6pm I booked a van that will be at the us air terminal.

Sounds good. I'd definitely wait for at least 15-20 minutes though since small delays are always a possibility.

Replied. 👍

Anyone that needs my number, shoot me a pm as well.

For sure, I would expect we actually rendezvous about 6:30.

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Okay, time for my corny speech.


To all Finalists,

First off, congratulations for making the cut this year and sacrificing your time, and possibly your sanity, squeezing in those few extra tenths. Even for those on the outside looking in, with how low the cutline went this year, it's a reminder never to give up. You never know if you're in until that magical e-mail drops into your inbox.

For some of us Finalists, this is our first time while others have gone down this road before. It doesn't matter for we're all be having a memorable journey chasing a a common dream that seemed impossible to obtain. Only one of us will get that chance, though, and it may come down to circumstances not completely within our control. It may not be fair but that's how life is sometimes and we shouldn't let that ruin our experience. Enjoy every moment, meet great people and have great races. Let's show the world that we represent the best of Gran Turismo.

Onto New York. Start your engines.

seriously... Dom was going to be the next one called. :*(

 

[Wardez]

I don't know if he wanted to. I feel that if he really tried he'd easily make top 15.

 

[Dr_Watson]

I don't know if he wanted to. I feel that if he really tried he'd easily make top 15.

Oh yeah, easily. He's a beast. Would have been awesome to meet up if he accidentally made it though.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Here's the 99% complete US Finalist list guys, congrat's to all and may you have success!

Do we have a list with real names attached?

 

[Wardez]

I'll try getting together as many names as I can later tonight. I only had an hour before work to put the list together, so ran out of time.

Also forgot to include Armen! huehuehhueh
