Volunteers at the Track
An event like this takes a lot of volunteer effort to put on. If you, a member of your family, or a friend would be interested in volunteering, please register online here with MotorsportReg.com. We need corner workers, pit & grid, runners, gate workers and more. Driving school students are particularly encouraged to volunteer on a day they are not in school. It provides a very different perspective and really completes the experience. BMW CCA membership is not required to volunteer.
Check-in
Check in will be at the track on Saturday Morning at the Gazebo.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU REGISTER. It contains valuable information about the school, registration, and the rules of the day. Forms mentioned in this text are immediately available via the links; however, all of them are available as a group when you go to the forms page.

Mandatory Vehicle Inspection
A technical inspection is required of all cars, and must be completed prior to the school. This is to check the condition of your vehicle, especially the parts that will be critical for an event like this. Tech inspection forms must be downloaded from the forms page. Most safety equipment will be checked: tires, brakes, brake fluid, battery hold-downs, seat belts and more. If there is any doubt about the condition of your equipment, have it replaced. New tires are not required or necessarily recommended. The inspection can be completed by your mechanic (expect a charge) or there will be FREE technical inspections. Be sure to bring your helmet to the inspection, as it will also be checked. DO NOT PUT THIS OFF! Be sure to give yourself time in case something is found that must be fixed.
Helmets and Safety
Note: Snell 2010 and 2015 helmets only! Snell 2005 is no longer valid. Safety is our first priority. Students and instructors are required to wear a Snell 2010 (or newer) certified helmet while on the track. Both Snell motorcycle (M) and auto racing (SA) certifications are acceptable. Bring a helmet even if you have to borrow one. A limited number of helmets can be rented for $15 at the school, but we cannot guarantee their availability. If you plan to buy a helmet, first find and read a guide on how to properly fit a helmet. Cars, drivers and instructors judged to be operating in an unsafe manner will be removed from the track and no refunds will be given. No glass beverage containers are permitted at any time. No alcoholic beverages are permitted on the premises while cars are on the track.
Students are not allowed to take passengers on the track at any time -- absolutely no exceptions. Only registered students and instructors are allowed to drive on the track. During instructors' sessions, instructors may take passengers who have signed the waiver release, wear an approved helmet, and are at least 18 years of age. Helmets used in Autocross events or Driving Schools must be rated to Snell, SFI or FIA standards as detailed below.
Snell Rated Helmets. Either Snell SA (Special Applications, e.g. racing) or Snell M (motorcycle) or Snell K (karting) helmets may be used.
Helmets that meet BMW CCA Club Racing eligibility rules at the time of the event are also allowed. (These presently include SFI 31.1 and FIA 8860, subject to change.)
General recommendation: Use of a full-face helmet with its face shield in place is strongly advised. The face shield of a full face helmet should either be worn closed or removed from the helmet. Any external visor above the eye-port should be removed.
Medical Information
Please complete the medical information form that will be available to the on-site medical personnel in case of an emergency. Please fold the form in thirds, tape and write your name on one end for quick access. These forms are for emergency use only, and are shredded after the event. Separately from this form, you are required to inform us of any condition that might impair your ability to perform the tasks expected of a student in this school, impede your ability to communicate with your instructor, or that would impair your ability to exit the vehicle in case of an incident. If you are pregnant, we require the approval of your physician and that your spouse also sign a waiver.
Cancellation Details
Cancellations must be done by calling the registrar . Cancelations received on or before Aug 28th will be charged $25.00 per driver per day. Our chapter policy is that there are no refunds after the cutoff date. If canceling after the cutoff date, students may present their case to the driving school committee. Only unforeseen, extraordinary, unavoidable circumstances will be considered. The committee, at their discretion, may issue partial credit to be applied at a driving school within the twelve month period subsequent to the cancelation.
