About this event

 

This page is for Driver School registration ONLY. If you are a Club Racer, please go here to register and pay.

Please come join us for our traditional Driver School event at our annual June Club Race/Driver School to benefit the Westlake School to be held at our home track at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ. We will have our usual banquet, auction fundraiser and special giveaways. The event will be held on Thunderbolt Raceway, which is a 14 turn, 2.25 mile road course designed by the owners of VIR with help from the legendary Carroll Shelby. Since 2008 a number of professional racing series have held events at Thunderbolt Raceway.  This is a perfect spectator event given the proximity of the track to the majority of our members, the excitement of Club Racing and the joy of the kids from the Westlake School who come as our guests. Take a personal day and come out to the track!

Driver School: We anticipate a full school for this event based on our success of past years. However, because we also hold a  Club Race at this event, we may only have two student run groups (depending on student and racer registrations). It is likely that one of the groups will be for Advanced students with the second group being Beginner/ Intermediate. The final determination of how to allocate students between the groups will be made by mid-MAY based upon both registrations and payments received. To accommodate the maximum number of students possible, there may be a greater range of driving skills than usual in each group. If you send a payment and we cannot accommodate you, you will receive a full refund (i.e., a cancellation fee will not be assessed). As always, acceptance preference is based upon the date your payment is received by the registrar. REGISTER EARLY TO SECURE YOUR PLACE IN THE SCHOOL! We will have a Monday evening banquet with door prizes and special aution items to benefit Westlake School in keeping with our tradition of a track-side dinner at summer schools.

BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School: Please note that we will NOT hold a club racing school at this event this year. It will, instead, be offered during O'Fest in September. Please look for announcements and registration instructions in the Roundel and from the NJ chapter Bulletin, website and chapter email blasts.
