Join us at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on August 29th and 30th for the Buckeye Chapter BMW CCA Driving School. Mid-Ohio is an excellent venue with a great track and good facilities.
Driver's Schools are a great place to see just what you and your Bimmer (or other car) can do. The schools allow performance driving techniques from experienced instructors under the safest conditions possible. They are not races, but rather, a controlled environment in which you can push the envelope at your own pace. You'll learn how your car handles at high speed and under extreme cornering. Once you get a taste of how your car behaves under the intensity of track driving, you will be much better prepared for those highway "intense moments". Students are grouped into several categories depending on skills and previous school experience for both in-class and on-track sessions. This is a great investment for any driver, male or female, young or "experienced". We've yet to hear of anyone leaving a Driver's Schools without feeling they were a better driver.
Note: Qualified students will be contacted for the option driving on Friday - Advanced Study.
Registration Hotel and Friday Night Tech Inspection for Driver’s Schools:
Quality Inn & Suites, 1000 Comfort Plaza, Bellville, OH 44813, (419) 886-7000
Also Saturday night dinner is at the host hotel.
Although "entertainment" is a loosley held term, you never know if Elvis Hand will show up and then there's always the best "interpretive use of your dinner ticket" contest at the door. After a long day at the track rest assured dinner will be a great place to sit back and relax with your friends, family and BMW enthusiasts alike.
