June 22-24, 2012

The Bluegrass Bimmers and Hoosier Chapter's of the BMW CCA would like you to join us for our annual Driving School Event.  Students undergo a mixture of classroom and behind-the-wheel education under the supervision of trained instructors. The course of study includes vehicle dynamics, vehicle limits and limitations, driving line and track safety. Cars must undergo technical and safety inspections prior to coming to the event. Helmets are required (Snell 2005 or newer); a limited number of loaner helmets are available. 

The cost for this event is $395 for both Saturday and Sunday.  An early bird discount is available for registrations through May 10th for the reduced price of $350.  Single day (Saturday or Sunday) registration is available for $250. Single day for 1st time students is only available for Saturday.  Spaces are limited!

In an effort to expose more newcomers to the experience of tracking their cars we are also offering a "first timer" discount on the full weekend price, The cost for first timers is $350.

Putnam has installed garages at the facility, which be available to rent through the club. If you are interested in a garage, please email Bill Wade. His email is: bill.wade@gmail.com

A Track Orientation Day is scheduled for Friday, June 22nd.  It is available for all instructors and qualified students by invitation for an additional cost of $100 for instructors and students. Previously signed off ‘A’ Students interested in being considered for attending should check the appropriate box on the application form.  We will contact you after evaluating your previous experience to inform you if you have been accepted.

Please be aware:  Due to the success of our open passing last year, all "A" group run sessions will be run under the open passing (with a point by rules of course).
