CURRENT BMW CCA MEMBERSHIP IS REQUIRED
All students must have a current valid BMW CCA membership prior to registering. Contact BMW CCA National at 1-800-878-9292 or sign up online at BMWCCA.ORG. Your registration cannot be confirmed unless your Motorsportreg profile includes a verifiable current membership number. (Motorsportreg will confirm this automatically when you register.)
COVID PROTOCOLS
We have no idea what Covid restrictions, if any, will be in place on the day of the school. However, we will follow all federal, state, and local Covid requirements in effect at the time. Currently, we do not plan to require that vaccinated and unvaccinated participants be treated differently or to require masking (although you are welcome to wear a mask if you like). However, we will be asking certain questions on vaccination status as part of the registration process. You can review our Covid guidelines for track events HERE.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Drivers. By the date of the school, all drivers must be 16 years or older and have a full driver’s license that does not require another qualified party to be a passenger in the vehicle. For students under 18, the student and a parent or guardian must sign a Parental and Minor Release Waiver (see Forms below). Be sure to bring your driver's license with you to the school.
Vehicles. We welcome cars of all makes and models! Unfortunately, we can't permit vans, minivans, trucks, or similar vehicles. However, if you have a capable SAV (BMW X3, etc.) and would like to bring it, please contact our chief instructor at drivingevents@motorcitybmwcca.org for prior approval. Our apologies, but per the BMW CCA Driving Events Operations Manual, we cannot accommodate convertibles (soft or retractable hardtop), targa, or T-top vehicles. If you have a question whether your vehicle is permitted, please contact the chief instructor before registering.
Tech inspection. All vehicles must pass a pre-school technical inspection performed by a licensed mechanic and complete the Vehicle Technical Inspection form (see Forms below). This is to be completed before the school. Instructors may, at their option, complete their own technical inspection. No onsite technical inspections will be performed.
Helmets. You will need a Snell SA or M-rated helmet (2015 or newer). Note: As a result of Covid concerns, we no longer offer helmet rentals.
Forms. All participants should read and complete (as applicable) the following forms and bring them to the event, where Motor City Chapter staff will collect them. All forms are available on our website HERE.
Note: We no longer require a medical form. If you have a medical condition you would like the track's safety crew to know about, you can communicate with them directly at the school. We'll also have available paper wristbands on which you can write a medical condition you'd like the crew to know about. Finally, we encourage you to complete or update your medical information on your Motorsportreg profile page.
For questions or additional information regarding any of these requirements, please contact our chief instructor at drivingevents@motorcitybmwcca.org
Note that a separate application form must be submitted for each driver, even if you are sharing a car.
Please monitor the Motor City Chapter BMW CCA web site for up-to-date information.
INSTRUCTORS
RUN GROUPS AND A+ SOLO DRIVERS
Run groups. We plan to run four run groups at this school: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced/Solo, and Instructors. During registration, students will be asked about their experience and preferred run group. If your preferred run group is consistent with your experience, we will do our best to put you in that group, but the final decision is the chief instructor's.
In-car instruction. The novice and intermediate group students will have instructors assigned to them. Students in the Advanced/Solo group will have instructors assigned to them, at least for the first session on Saturday, unless the student has been pre-approved as an A+ Solo student. Pre-approved A+ Solo students can select A+ Solo as their preferred group during registration. Please check with our chief instructor if you're not sure you're pre-approved or wish to be pre-approved to run A+ Solo at this school.
The A+ Solo double run group option. A+ Solo drivers have the option during registration of paying a small additional fee to run in two different groups--the Advanced/Solo group and the Instructor group. For that small fee, this option effectively doubles your available track time. Before choosing this option during registration, check with our chief instructor to be sure you are pre-approved to run A+ Solo at this school.
