This event is being run using BMW CCA rules for open top cars.  Such cars (including those with permanently attached hardtops) must have a minimum of a 4-point roll bar that meets the material and installation requirements set forth by BMW CCA. This requirement can be certified either by presenting a log book from a recognized sanctioning body (SCCA, NASA, etc.) or an inspection document signed by a race car fabrication shop.  Cars with soft or no top are also required to have arm restraints. "Targa" style cars with removable roof panels (e.g., many Corvettes, Porsches, etc.) will be required to have their removable roof panels installed.   Please contact David Burman (DEC@badgerbimmers.org) BEFORE registering to verify that your open top car will meet our technical requirements.

Many automobile insurance policies now exclude coverage for events that take place on a race track. The only way to know if your policy still covers driving schools is to read your policy. If you find that your policy does not cover our driving schools you can purchase event insurance from Lockton Affinity Motorsports. BMW CCA members get a discount on the purchase of both single and multiple event driving school insurance.
