Admissions Policy

Due to strong demand for space in National Capital Chapter (NCC) HPDEs, we are sometimes unable to accommodate all the students who apply.  For HPDEs where applications exceed our school capacity, we will admit students as outlined below.

Priority Assignment

Students will be admitted in order of application date from among the following groups until capacity has been reached.  Within each group, applicants for both days of an HPDE will be admitted first, and then, if spaces remain, single-day applicants will be admitted.  Ties within groups will be broken by random drawings.  Priority order is:

1. National Capital Chapter member;
2. Member of other BMW CCA chapters.

HINT: Any BMW CCA member can become a member of the National Capital Chapter. Simply log into www.bmwcca.org or call the BMW CCA National Office at 800.878.9292 and ask to add the NCC to your existing membership. We verify the membership status of 100% of all applicants to our HPDEs. 

Notes

“NCC member” priority will be given to applicants whose primary or secondary chapter affiliations include the NCC and to applicants with pending NCC membership applications.  The number of novice students admitted will be limited to one-third of the total school enrollment.  Applicants should check their entry status at: ncc.motorsportreg.com.  Every effort will be made to inform applicants of their admission status by email three weeks before the event.  

• Applications must be submitted using the online registration form on MotorsportReg.com.  At a minimum, completely fill out your Name, Address, Email, Phone, complete Club/Chapter membership information, Garage and Driving Experience in your MotorsportReg.com account page.  Incomplete account information will slow down the registration process.  The National Capital Chapter will not use any medical information entered into MotorsportReg.com for our HPDEs.  On-line (credit card or account debit) payment through MotorsportReg.com within the registration period is required to complete your registration and prioritize your application.  Each individual applicant must submit a separate application using a unique username and email address.  Admission priority will be determined by your on-line payment date. 

• Drivers must contact Dennis Pippy with high performance driving experience prior to acceptance into the race school.

• Cars must be quiet enough to allow for in-car communication. Race prepared cars with race harnesses must be current. If race cars have two front seats, both seats must have current and equal race harnesses for both driver and passenger. (e.g. if the driver seat has a 6 point harness, the passenger seat must also have a 6 point harness) If roll bars or cages are installed, they must be fully padded above the level of the front door window sills.

• Convertibles, SAVs, SUVs, retractable hardtops, T-tops, trucks, vans, motorcycles and rental cars are not allowed.

• Cars must be inspected by a qualified service facility before the event.  A properly completed tech inspection form (supplied) must be presented at the track.  It is your responsibility to ensure that your car is safe and track-worthy.

• ATTENTION BMW E36 CAR OWNERS:  The original radiator must have been replaced in ANY E36 BMW that drives in our schools.  This is a safety issue and not negotiable.  Download and read the Tech Inspection form on the NCC website (nccbmwcca.org) for the rules concerning you car.  It is your responsibility to understand these rules prior to registration.  If you wait too late and cannot meet the radiator requirement before the school, you run the risk of forfeiting part or all of your registration fee based on the Refund Policy noted below.  

• Helmets ---Note these requirements for 2017 --- Must be certified to Snell M- or SA-standards, 2010 or later.  Full-face helmets with SA-2010 or later certifications are strongly recommended.  The Snell Memorial Foundation’s certification will be found on a sticker inside the helmet.  The National Capital Chapter does not supply helmets.

• Prior approval is required for students intending to share cars and for changes in car type after registration.

Refund policy

Student and instructor schedules are finalized and sent to the printer no later than seven days prior to the event. Our HPDE costs are fixed and based on financial obligations we enter into once you register and we accept you into the event. Tuition is priced as low as possible based upon your acceptance and attendance.   

If you cancel your registration one week prior to the Friday of the relative event, you'll not be charged for your registration. If you cancel your registration within 7 days of the relative HPDE, you'll receive a 50% refund minus NCC incurred registration fees which are approximately 3.5%. If you cancel your registration the day of the relative HPDE or fail to show, you'll receive no refund.  

If you damage your car or your car breaks for any reason and you cannot drive or continue in the school, there will be no refund provided for the remainder of the event that is missed. For example, if you run off the track and break your suspension or if your radiator breaks on Saturday morning at 9:00am and you cannot run any more laps that weekend, you will not be reimbursed for any of your event fees for that event.

The National Capital Chapter reserves the right to decline entry to any individual and to any vehicle deemed unsafe or unsuitable for track use. 

There will be no exceptions made to these cancellation and refund rules. They have been developed over many years of experience operating NCC driving schools. Please do not ask us to make an exception to your 'unique' situation. Thank you for helping us run a safe and financially successful HPDE program.
