Here we are at MSR Cresson
in Cresson, Texas
for the NASA Texas March Madness event.
NASA Supra partnership is a really cool deal.
When you get a 2020 Supra, you get not just this amazing sports car,
but you get an experience of
coming out to a track
and being able to fully stretch its legs
and see what an amazing dynamic car this is.
I heard about the program through
just a mailer that I got.
I didn't even realize that
I was going to get it,
but I got it and it said
"Hey for new Supra owners
ya know you get a
free day on the track."
I saw that and I was like
"Hey I'll take advantage that."
And honestly, unexpectedly finding that
in the mail that was the greatest thing
that can happen. So immediately
as soon as I could register for it,
I registered right away.
It's one thing to buy a car, and go to a school
and drive something like it.
It's another to take your car
to a track and run it all day.
It's a whole different experience
I would say for most people who drive cars probably on the road
or maybe try to do a little street racing or something like that.
This experience is like no other, and
you really have to get to the track to understand what it's like.
Once you get on the track and test out the car
how it's supposed to be,
you get this feeling of accomplishment.
Being able to see how it corners,
how it hugs, the weight distribution on the turns…
This is so light and nimble,
that you really don't experience it until it's on the track.
It opens up a door that you didn't even know was there,
and it gives you maybe a new bar that you would set
for yourself on trying to learn and trying to figure out
like how can I progress by learning, and how to drive better.
I think a first timer would feel just as comfortable on this track
as somebody who hasn't. And even the instruction we got
really was built from somebody who has never been on track before
all the way up to
definite progressions up the ladder.
I saw two Porsche owners
came to me and said
"That was a great lap."
"That was a fast lap. This is a fast car. I like it.
Anytime you have someone come up,
you feel like they're well more experienced than you,
but then for them to compliment you
when you're just kind of getting to this first time,
thats a big deal.
And that really makes it at the end of the day know that
you feel like you got the right car.
In a day and age where
muscle cars, and sports cars and a lot of other cars
are being touted as the newest, the greatest, the latest, the fastest,
Supra truly is an experience that is out of the box
ready to hit the track.
They're selling this experience of a car
that's able to pound the asphalt
all day long, all weekend long,
and still drive to work on Monday.
