Fall Driving School 2013 @ Thunderhill

Thunderhill Raceway Park

About this event

Join the Golden Gate Chapter on November 9 & 10 at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA! Thunderhill is a beautiful and challenging race track, making it a great place to learn the art of high-performance driving from the dedicated team of experienced GGC instructors. You'll go home with skills you can use on the roads every day, as well as some great memories of laps at this fantastic racetrack.

Our events are driving schools, not open track days; every student is assigned an instructor for the duration of the event until signed off by their Instructor. Our focus is on safety and learning.

Our program receives rave reviews from students every year - come out and see why!

Event requirements

 

School requirements:

Your car must be registered, you must be a licensed driver, 18 years of age or older and you must be a BMW CCA member to be eligible for enrollment (non-member fee includes a non-refundable one-year BMW CCA membership).

Note: Attendance at a GGC Car Control Clinic is strongly recommended and is typically a prerequisite for first-timers planning to attend any of our driving schools who do not have previous high-performance driving experience. Our next Car Control Clinic is scheduled for October 19 -- registration for the October 19 CCC is now open.  More details can be found on the GGC Calendar.

Snell (M or SA) 2005 or 2010 helmets are required for all events. 

If you would like to share a car with another student, please contact the Registrar by clicking the Host Details to the right before registering.

Convertibles and T-top cars must have 5-point/6-point belts and arm restraints, as well as an approved roll bar installed.  Factory "rollover protection" for a soft top (i.e. BMW Z3 and Z4, Porsche Boxster) is not sufficient for the school.  Convertibles with hard tops, including folding hard tops, are NOT ALLOWED. 

Examples of cars NOT ALLOWED include: Firebirds and Camaros with T-tops or convertibles; any Corvette other than the Z06 coupe; Porsche convertibles and Targas.  The Lotus Elise, while a targa-style car, IS ALLOWED due to its structural design only if the hard roof panel is in place (the soft roof panel is not sufficient).  It is essential that you email us to discuss these issues well in advance if you plan to bring a convertible or T-top car.  We will not give refunds if you sign up with an ineligible car.

Cancellation policy: Any cancellations on or before 10/31/13 pay $50.00 (or $98 for non-members, who will receive a 1-year BMW CCA membership). Cancellations after 10/31/13 will not receive a refund or credit for any reason.

Please make sure to include or update your experience and your emergency contact info in your account when you register online.
