About this event

This Event is SOLD OUT.

 

Patroon Chapter and CT Valley Chapter BMWCCA invite you to attend our  Two Day Summer Driving School at Lime Rock Park in beautiful Northwestern Ct.  
On Friday we have the Track to ourselves and will not be sharing with the Lime Rock Drivers Club!  Saturday will be our traditional format with rotating sessions with the LRDC, so space is limited on Saturday.

We are offering a 1 Day Friday Rate of $320.00, a One Day Saturday rate of $340 OR a 2 day entry fee of $599 for BMWCCA members. Non Member rates are higher and include a 1 year BMWCCA membership.

AVAILABLE SLOTS

This Event is SOLD OUT.


Reminder M or SA 2005 or 2010 helmets are required this year. 

Also-- LRP is a sound sensitive track. We are limited to 87dB measure at the edge of the track.  For more information, contact Lime Rock Park at 860-435-5000

See you at the track!

 

Note to Instructors:

Saturday instructor slots are full.  Friday Only Instructor Slots still available.

On Friday we have the track to ourselves and will
run a full schedule with two instructor groups.  On Saturday we'll be
sharing the track with the Lime Rock Club and therefore can only run a
half schedule, with two student groups and one instructor group.
Unfortunately, due to that limitation, once we've filled the Saturday
instructor group, we'll no longer be able to accept instructor
registrations for that day.  To be as fair as possible about this,
we'll give preference to instructors who sign up for both days on a
first come, first served basis.  After we've filled the Instructor
roster for the Saturday event, we'll only be able to accept Friday
Instructor registrations.  We apologize for this unavoidable
limitation, and hope that if we can't see you on both days, we'll at
least see you on Friday

If you have not instructed for Patroon Chapter in the past, please contact us at d510@nycap.rr.com and we will check your credentials. CT Valley instructors need to do this as well, as the MSR acccount for this event is Patroons.
