About this event
THIS IS THE RE-SCHEDULED ITS FOR 2021. PARTICIPATION IS BY INVITATION ONLY.
Though a collaboration between Jeff and Sharon Caldwell and the DelVal BMW CCA chapter, we will be holding our annual Mid-Atlantic regional Instructor Training School on August 13-15 on Lightning Raceway at NJMP. The Instructor Training School is for advanced students who have shown a high level of driving skill, an understanding of driving dynamics and a desire to teach. The program is a rigorous two days of on-track and classroom instruction and role-playing. If you have been invited, you can register online here. Please be sure to use the ITS Candidate registration radio button so you are properly enrolled. Your acceptance will be subject to approval by the ITS Coordinator and Chief Instructor. If you believe that you are a candidate for the ITS and have not been invited, please e-mail the ITS Coordinator. ITS candidates should plan to bring the car they usually use for driver schools as a portion of the evaluation process requires candidates to drive their vehicle.
On Friday during Jeffapalooza, ITS participants will have 4 on-track sessions and all remaining time in the classroom. ITS run groups will have the track alone. On Saturday during DelVal's DE/CR event, ITS participants will be blended into regular student run groups for additional training and evaluation combined with additional classroom time. All candidates should plan to remain for Sunday. Those candidates who graduate from ITS will be given students to instruct on Sunday and we will work with the remaining candidates to get them "finished up".
A Saturday evening banquet is listed on the Registration page but, at this time, we are uncertain that it will be held. We will notify registrants once plans become defined.
Registration Fees:
ITS Candidate: $495. Your card will not be charged until just before the event in case Covid restrictions change.
