45 Driver Event Cap ... Priority naturally goes to BMWCCA members, which is a GREAT reason to join for just $48 and you don't have to own a BMW. Not only do you get registration priority, but you get other member benefits, and you get a discount per event. It take less than 5 event to pay for itself and you get to participate in our ENHANCED TROPHY PROGRAM :-)
How to join and benefits: If you want to use member# 534122 as your referral, that'd be swell :-)
If you end up on the waitlist you'll be notified, via email, by noon the day before the event if a slot has opened up for you.
Car Classes:
We use essentially the same car classification system as the Windy City BMWCCA. Only tweak is ANY car running tires with a treadwear rating of under 200 goes into their own class - R Class.
BMW Classes:
AA, A, B, C, D Unsure what class your BMW falls into? Check the CLASS CALCULATOR here.
Non-BMW Classes:
EAA, EA, EB, EC. See this spreadsheet on how to class your non-BMW: Non-BMW Classing
R Class = ANY car running tires with a treadwear rating of under 200 OR extremely modified non-BMW's
Car Numbers: We use a season-long reserved car number system. If you don't already have a reserved number, you'll choose one during registration.
We run a Self-Tech system. You are responsible to make sure your vehicle meets the minimum requirements in our Self-Tech form. Fill this out and place under your windshield wiper when coming to Grid. DON'T BRING YOUR BROKEN CAR TO THIS EVENT. If its evident you didn't self-tech your car and it breaks you may be put on the banned list.
