Nismo Performance Academy, Austin Tx June 22/23

Daveski38 · 06-11-2013, 08:38 AM

It’s time. This is your exclusive invitation to attend the first ever Nismo Performance Academy taking place at the only purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the US – Circuit of The Americas. Come feel the full power of Nissan Performance vehicles as never before.
Under the guidance of professional instructors, the Nismo Performance Academy will fine tune your driving abilities and get your heart pumping as you experience vehicles like the GT-R, 370Z Nismo and the latest vehicle in the performance portfolio, the Juke Nismo. After professional instruction in the classroom and on the track, you'll utilize the skills and techniques you've learned in your own car on the racetrack.
Dates: Saturday June 22nd or Sunday June 23rd
Event Hours: 8am – 5pm
Location: Circuit of The Americas
9201 Circuit of The Americas Blvd
Austin, TX 78617
This is an invitation-only event and there is no fee to attend. Registration is now open and spots for each event day are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Space at the event is very limited and just like the vehicles, will go fast. Use your personalized code below to claim your seat at the Nismo Performance Academy now!
See you at the track!

Anybody else get this? I recieved it at 4:33 pm yesterday. Didn't get back to my desk until 4:45. Turned in my registration before 5 and got a reply at 5:06 that all spots were filled and I was placed on a waiting list.

Yes, I received my invitation at the same time. I was on my commute home when sent and when I checked my email, I immediately tried to register and got the same response that all spots were full and I was placed on the waiting list. Kind of disappointing that they allow each invitee to bring a guest when invitees get placed on the waitlist.

I got the email and signed up. It looks like I may have to cancel though due to a medical issue in the family. Hopefully my spot will go to one of you on the forum!

Anyone who got in let me know as ive arranged a "official" NAGTROC hotel for everyone to stay at for a 50% off rate and we are doing a group dinner/ meet and greet both fri and sat night

It seems the invited guest can share the invitees car if they choose or they can only do the portions of the event where cars are provided by nissan. So a guest is not taking anyone's place as the event was designed like that from the start. Last year nissan did 3 GTR centric events just like this but this year they are wanting to push the NISMO brand so it was opened up to the Z crowd as well so that meant a balance of both owner groups.

The event did fill up super quick as it was first come first serve once the code went out. I think saturday alone took about 12-15 mins after the email with the code went out. Sunday was gone shortly after. Everyone else went to a wait list. roughly only half of my guys made it in

They will be doing these events in other markets so everyone who got the save the date email should sign up to get on the list for future events

I signed up as soon as the email popped up and will be there on Sunday, June 23 with the Z.

i live 10 minutes away from the track in austin. that would be cool just to go watch or drive my car on the track.

Kelly51887 · 06-19-2013, 10:22 PM

My husband is a Nissan 370z owner and we will be at the Nismo Performance Academy. I was interested in the info about dinner on Friday night. Could you please email me if there are any open spots. We are driving up from Houston on Friday.

I'll be there as a guest on Saturday. I won't be able to drive my car on the track, but I really hope that I get to drive the GTR.

If not, then can I have a ride along, MC?

I didn't get offered to go by Nissan, so I had to ask around to be a guest of someone who did (Thanks Ice). Guests are not able to drive their own cars on the track, but I'm very grateful that I have an opportunity to attend. Sorry Chris
