Pumpkin Driving School: Join us at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on October 23h and 24th for the annual Pumpkin Buckeye Chapter BMW CCA Driving School.  Mid-Ohio is an excellent venue with a great track and good facilities. 

The student cost is $395 and  includes both Saturday and Sunday. That's three half hour on track sessions each day.

This is a driving school and a club race.  There is no reduction in student track time even though we are having a club race. Driving school students will receive the standard three 25-30 minute on track sessions on Saturday and three 25-30 minute on track sessions on Sunday.

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 from   7:00 PM to 10:00PM at:

Quality Inn & Suites,  1000 Comfort Plaza, Bellville, OH 44813, (419) 886-7000

Also Saturday night dinner is at the host hotel.

If you've never joined us before, Saturday's dinner is a fantastic feast of grilled chicken, grilled salmon, pork bar-b-que, red skin potatoes, green beans and cornbread served at the main hotel around 6:30pm or so. Soft drinks, water, beer and wine are also provided but BYOB is also encouraged if you're the connoisseur of anything in particular. If you still have room we'll finish off dinner with yummy rich brownies.

Also 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.
