Lone Star Chapter BMW CCA
Spring 2026 Driver's Education Weekend

May 23rd, 2026
at the Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX

REGISTRATION CLOSES May 15th, 2026 at 11:59pm.

Come join the Lone Star Chapter BMW Car Club of America for our annual Spring HPDE at the Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX. We will be running the 1.7 mile track. Cars of all makes are welcome although there are special requirements/restrictions for convertibles (see below).

Overview

This High Performance Driving School will give you the opportunity to drive your car at speed and to experience the potential of the unique combination of car and driver. It is safe, demanding and most importantly FUN! All students will alternate between classroom sessions and time on the track with an instructor. The individualized instruction is a key to this program that has been developed over decades, and compares very favorably with commercial schools costing many times more. Our experienced instructors have come from racing, autocrossing and BMW CCA driving schools.

Driving School Event Fees:

Advanced Level Solo Students $250

Novice/Beginner and approved Intermediate Level students $275

NOTE: BMWCCA Membership is required for all students. Don't worry, all makes are welcome, and membership starts at $58.

SPECIAL DEAL: If this is your first HPDE EVER, please reach out to our registrar at treasurer@lscbmwcca.org and ask for our special first-timer discount code that will be equal to the membership fee.

For this, and all future Lone Star Chapter BMWCCA Driver's Education events, ALL PAID Driver registrants MUST BE ACTIVE BMWCCA members, and your member number will be automatically verified by the registration system before your registration is complete. If your membership has lapsed, or if you have yet to become a BMWCCA member, please visit www.bmwcca.org to renew or enroll BEFORE completing this event registration. New or newly-renewed memberships are activated overnight so they may not be immediately validated if purchased the same day you are registering.

Run Groups

Instructors and student classing / run groups: Students are assigned to one of three student run groups Novice, Intermediate, or Advanced commensurate with their experience. Beginner students should select the Novice run group. Drivers with previous, documented and verifiable experience must update your driving history in the motorsportreg.com history area of your registration profile and register for the appropriate run group for which they have previously participated in or qualified for if promoted. Our event Chief Driving Instructor (CDI) reserves the right to review your driving history and reassign your run group based on his assessment of your driving history. Instructor supervision is required at all times while you are on the track. Helmet intercoms (provided by the instructors) are used between the student and instructor to facilitate communication.
