About this event

The school is currently full and a wait list is formed email me to get on the list.  Of course we still have plenty of room in our October school which features lots of track time.

Join us at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on August 23rd & 24th 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.

Instructors: $150.00 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday OR $75.00 for Saturday and Sunday only.

Instructors are required to review the Ross Bentley instructor manual.

Non-memberbers can go to www.bmwcca.org and sign up to become a member, it's actually a bit cheaper than having us sign you up, then just use your new number to register as a member for the event.

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 will be contacted for the option driving on Friday August 22nd- Advanced Study.  

Registration Hotel and Friday Night Tech Inspection for Driver’s Schools: 7:00 PM to 10:00PM at

Quality Inn , 1000 Comfort Plaza Drive, Bellville, Ohio   44813.  Phone 419-886-7000.  Ask for BMW CCA discount.

Also Saturday night dinner is at the host hotel.

If you've never joined us before, Saturday's dinner is a fantastic feast of grilled chicken, grilled salmon, pork bar-b-que, red skin potatoes, green beans and cornbread served at the main hotel around 6:30pm or so. Soft drinks, water, beer and wine are also provided but BYOB is also encouraged if you're the connoisseur of anything in particular. If you still have room we'll finish off dinner with yummy rich brownies.

Also there's always the best "interpretive use of your dinner ticket" contest at the door. 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.
