heading up to limerock tomorrow evening to participate in the Nismo Performance Academy (http://www.nismoperformanceacademy.com) on the 5th

this will be my first foray in road racing ... up until now I've been a drag racing guy... figured I would give this a shot since it's free and a great learning experience with professional driving instructors

I'm pumped! i'll take many pictures and videos

what do you drag race? and what are your times like?

I've had many cars and bikes I've drag raced (hayabusa being the fastest... consistently ran high 8s at 165mph)

most currently my gtr... hoping to hit 10s this fall

i assume this isn't a free event, since they ask for a code. Did they give you the code when you bought the GTR?

Nice. I've done a few track days/school recently so I would recommend watching an onboard video for the track ahead of time. Makes it a little easier to figure out the track once you're riding it.

this is more akin to a skip barber school deal with a Nissan twist then a pure track day

I had a freaking awesome time ... i'll post some video's soon... Nissan actually had an entire professional video crew there to take video's of your experience... I should have my hands on it soon

Congrats.

Nothing like getting out on a road course with the only limits being you and the laws of physics.

When I had my miata, I did at weekend performance driving school at Sebring. Was amazed at how much I learned.

Sounds like you had great fun! Looking forward to seeing more of your video.

this event's instructors were all from skip barber racing... I absolutely learned a ton from them

What's the Juke? Is that like a souped up stolen Suzuki Swift?

I'm pretty jealous eh. I'd love to even just have a GTR someday, let alone track day training and stuff.
