About this event
2010 Regional "No Excuses 3" Driving School
Presented by Kansas City/Sunbelt BMW Clubs


Last year, the Kansas City and Sunbelt BMW Club chapters joined forces to bring you an exciting event! Please join us for the 2010 BMW Regional Driving School - "No Excuses 3" at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit on September 10th-12th. The school includes two days of instructed driving and a Friday orientation day for instructors and approved advanced students.
Raising the bar another level over our exciting event last year, we will be featuring a new HPDE classroom presentation created by the great Ross Bentley. Bentley has combined over 20 seasons of race driving experience and 18 years of race driving instruction to become one of North America's foremost authorities on the art of driving. His series, Speed Secrets, is one of the best selling series of performance driving books of all time.
Hallett is considered one of the most exciting and technical tracks in the midwest! The track features ten turns, and considerable elevation change across its 1.8 mile circuit.

BMW CCA driving schools are designed to teach drivers how to safely improve their driving abilities and explore their cars’ capabilities. Students, using their own cars, get one-on-one instruction from experienced instructors. Our overriding emphasis is on safety, and safely learning how to control the car in emergency and higher performance conditions. The school is conducted on a paved, closed, and controlled course to minimize risk to persons and equipment. This is not a racing school, practice or preparation for racing, and it is not a timed, competitive event or speed contest. Even though we try to minimize risk, there in an inherent risk of damage to your car and injury to yourself. Please be certain that you are willing to accept this risk before registering for the school.
