About this event
Join the BMW CCA Golden Gate Chapter on February 10 & 11 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca! 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 famous racetrack.
This is a driving school -- not a race or open track event. 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).
Snell SA2005 and M2005 or newer helmets are required. Please note that Golden Gate Chapter driving schools now requires Snell (M or SA) 2005 or 2010 helmets for all events beginning January 1, 2012.
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" (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 1/31/12 pay $50 (or $98 for non-members, who will receive a 1-year BMW CCA membership). Cancellations on or after 2/1/12 will not receive a refund or credit for any reason.
Please make sure to include and update your experience and your emergency contact info in your account when you register online.
