First 10 days of registration 5/28-6/7 are reserved for current Tarheel Chapter members and registered affiliate members only,  We verify membership with CCA National prior to confirmation as accepted in the school. On 6/8 registration opens to other current BMW CCA chapter members on a first received basis at the same cost as Tarheel Members.  Non-members may register for $420.00 beginning 6/21 providing the school has not filled.

NO TIMING EQUIPMENT ALLOWED. Do not ask for exceptions, our CCA HPDS Guidelines prohibit it.  Please check www.tarheelbmwcca.org  under HPDS Insurance to read the latest information on what is covered by the BMW CCA Event Insurance.  Hint: Do not ask your Car Insurance Agent if you are covered during a driver school on a track; rather ask for all exclusions in writing.  Tarheel Chapter uses BMW CCA Insurance which is for LIABILITY and is very good.  We, as organizers strive to comply with the BMW CCA HPDS Guidelines and to be diligent in enforcing the policies. This gives the best opportunity to successfully defend any lawsuit (heaven forbid) occurring out of our HPDS. Your cooperation enables us to maintain reasonable insurance costs to the chapter and keeps our price of the events competitive.  You as waiver signed participants are covered for liability ensuing from your participation in this event. You must understand that you are not protected by this policy for collision.  This is a gentleman's sport.  You are responsible for your vehicle and that of anyone else involved with you in a collision at the event.  Private insurace policies may not cover at a "racing surface" based school.  READ your exclusions.

Instructors

• Instructors: A working communicator is essential for good communication. In the case of medical reasons why you can't use the ear pieces, use the microphone; your student can wear the earpieces. He/she can hear you, you can't hear him over the intercom.  Not ideal, but better than shouting.
• All cars must have front passenger seat. NO EXCEPTIONS! Part of your job instructing includes taking your student out in your car to demonstrate the skills that you are trying to impart. This demonstration is at the STUDENT'S LEVEL.
• Instructor Registration is Friday at the track or Friday night at the Headquarters Motel.  The arm band is placed on your arm at registration by our staff when you sign the waiver, and is your pass through the VIR entrance gates. This facilitates track access in the mornings. The armband is required for entrance onto the track.
• BMW CCA guest instructors belonging to chapters other than Tarheel, who have instructed with us in the immediate past, may register starting June 8th.  Your online registration is time-stamped when you sign up online. The instructor fee for Friday is $110 for instructors who are instructing Saturday and Sunday. Please do not pay on line. We will accept checks or cash at the Friday AM registration at the track. No instructor may attend Friday if you are not instructing Sat. & Sun.  Our policy is that instructors will have A & C or B & D students to facilitate time for pre-track communication and post-track debriefing. Thank you for choosing Tarheel Chapter HPDS.
• Special Registration Note: If you are a recognized instructor for Tarheel Chapter do NOT sign up as a student or "BMW CCA Member", doing so puts you in the student pool.  If you are not presented with access to the instructor signup packages, and you have instructed with Tarheel Chapter BMW before, contact the Tarheel Chief Instructor , school coordinator, JoElla John jjohnmcoupe@aol.com  and request to be flagged as a "Recognized Instructor".  If you were already flagged as instructor by the CI, you should have been directed to the Instructors only sign up. Once you are on the "Recognized Instructor" list,  select the Fri/Sat/Sun or the Sat/Sun option and continue. Yes, it is necessary to complete all of the information requested in the forms. From them we will generate our school management paperwork.  Fill in T-shirt size and car & car color. Bring a CAR WITH TWO SEATS suitable for giving rides.
