Join us at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on August 18th & 19th for the Buckeye Chapter BMW CCA Driving School. Mid-Ohio is an excellent venue with a great track and good facilities.
The student cost is $425 members ($475 non-members) and includes both Saturday and Sunday. Your registration includes the fabulous Saturday night dinner at the host hotel. That's three half hour on track sessions each day. $25 late charge if you sign up after July 25th.

Instructors are required to review the Ross Bentley instructor manual.

A solo: we will run A solo at this event. If you have a lot of experience at MidOhio and wish to run solo, please contact us for approval.
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 coached 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 have the option driving on Friday August 17th- Advanced Study. Contact registrar (Bud) for approval.

If you've never joined us before, Saturday's dinner is a fantastic feast of fried chicken, ribs, great sides and rolls served at the track 6:00 pm or so. Soft drinks, water, beer and wine are also provided. If you still have room we'll finish off dinner with yummy desserts.
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.
