Announcing the BMW CCA Hoosier Chapter
2010 Rites o' Spring Driver School

We'd like to invite you to sign up for the Hoosier Chapter's 19th Annual Rites o’ Spring Driver School at Putnam Park Road Course. The school will be held the weekend of 17-18th April 2010. Putnam Park is near Cloverdale, exit 41 from I-70 west of Indianapolis.

What's a Driver School?
The Driver School's mission is to teach advanced driving skills and habits in the controlled environment of a closed course — and for everyone to have fun while doing it. You'll have an assigned instructor with you in your car for the whole weekend while you put into practice the advanced techniques you learn during the classroom sessions.

Although we hold the school on a closed track, this is not a race or any form of competitive or timed event. Safety is our primary concern — for the protection of all our participants, anything even resembling racing or unsafe behavior will be grounds for immediate exclusion.

Who can attend?
Students need to be 18 years or older, have a currently valid driver's license and be members of the BMW CCA (or immediate family of a member). If you have other friends that would like to participate, they'll need to sign up as members.

What about the car?
You'll be driving your own car. You don't have to drive a BMW — we have students in Hondas, Porsches, Infinitis, Corvettes and other kinds of cars. But we are the BMW Club, so of course we think that BMWs are best! And by the way, that includes Minis - that's what your Chief Instructor has as his daily driver.

We do not accept convertibles, including hard-top or retracting metal roof models. SUVs and trucks and vans aren't suited for this type of activity.

How much does this cost, and what's included?
The student fee is $375, which covers two full days of classroom and in-car instruction by our skilled and experienced personnel. You'll be responsible for your own meals other than the banquet, as well as for your motel room.

Sounds great - how do I sign up?
Right here at Motorsportreg.com, which allows you both to fill out your registration information and to make convenient and secure payment by credit card, all in a few simple steps. You may optionally elect to pay directly by check.

To assure the best learning experience we limit participation to approximately 18 cars in each student run group on a first come, first served basis.

How do I know I’ve been accepted to the school?
We’ll send you an email when you’ve been accepted. Note that acceptance in the Driver School can not be confirmed until your payment has been received and your student application reviewed.

Help! I can't make the online system do what I want — what now?
If you’re having technical difficulties, or you need to consult us directly, no problem, we'll get you signed up. Call Neil Maller at (260) 437-9174, daytime or until 8pm, or shoot me an email at Neil.Maller@gte.net We're accepting registrations now.

See you at the track!

Neil Maller
Chief Instructor
