BMW CCA Driving Schools at Pacific Raceway
Our First Driving School Event of the 2011 season
April 28th, Thursday, is our first driving school event for 2011. It should be a terrific event. As is our custom, we will have both a Car Control Clinic (CCC) $95.00 and a High Performance Driving School (HPDS) $195.00 running concurrently. To participate you must have a valid driver’s license, be a BMW CCA Club member or a member of another club we reciprocate with (PNWR PCA, NWARC, Audi Club NW, BMW ACA Portland). The CCC is a prerequisite for the HPDS. If you have never done a CCC or the equivalent, this is a good time to sign up and give it a try. The activities include slalom, emergency braking, collision avoidance, wet skid pad, and handling oval, touring laps of the road racing course and rides with the instructor. You do not need a helmet or a tech inspection and convertibles/roadsters are welcome. The HPDS is the real deal; this is about as exciting as it gets in your BMW! Instruction is provided for students of all levels. More experienced drivers can be signed off to drive solo for the day but this is the exception rather than the rule. These are, in fact, driving schools intended to make you a more proficient every day driver. You can register on www.motorsportreg.com; until April 22nd. You will need a helmet and your vehicle must be inspected by an ASE certified mechanic. Starting this year your technical inspection is valid for the entire 2011 year. One more opportunity is available to you. If you would like to learn more about this whole “track thing” but you’re not quite ready to sign up, come on out and volunteer to assist our staff. We need people to chase cones for the CCC. You can get a good look at what goes on and decide whether this is something your want to try in 2011. For further information go to our club’s web site: www.bmwpugetsound.com and click on driving schools. . Contact me if you might be interested in this. Join the fun! --Rick Gulstrom, Driving Events Coordinator rick@gmsarch.com

Got the 2011 season underway yesterday with the Porsche Club. Huge turnout with 30 cars in the B Group. Weather cooperated and the track stayed green until 5:00 PM so everyone got plenty of seat time.
Tire wall outside of turn 2 is gone so now if you get wheels off just keep going straight because you won't hit anything until you get to Auburn Come on out next Thursday with the BMW Club.

T5a is known as the million dollar turn because it eats a lot of sheet metal every season. T6 is rather treacherous when it's damp to wet. Lots of folks spin out at the exit of T8 (ask z4mnyc about it ) but the infield is now paved so no harm is done except for a bruised ego.

It's always fun to have a lot of forum folks at the track and to get a lot of Z4s there for some fun! We had 4 Z4Ms (and some Z3 and Z3Ms) at our last track day (almost all forum members) and a great time was had by all! Looks like you had fun out there, and a bit of extra excitement as well. That wing/splitter set-up on your car is awesome BTW--I love the look and the functionality! |
