Join the ///M Chapter for an incredible and exclusive event to be held during the Roundel Reunion weekend*, on Friday, November 6th! With professional coaching from Mike Renner, BMW Performance Center extraordinaire, we have the unique opportunity to use the Michelin Laurens Proving Grounds and their ½ mile wet skid pad - that’s as large as some professional race tracks (Bristol Motor Speedway is only 0.533 miles)!

It is a very large track with plenty of wet, polished concrete, the ideal environment to learn advanced car control skills and to drift your car. There is a large run-off area around the skid pad, so you have to almost "try" to get into the grass. This has been one of the most requested ///M Chapter events and an outstanding success with many drivers learning how to better control their cars in a skid along with learning the art of "drifting".

The cost for each participant is $350. This price includes Mike Renner's professional coaching via radio, half day of track time, and joint lunch for both AM/PM sessons. There are three cars on the skid pad at once, providing a significant amount of seat time during each session. Based on past experience, some drivers do not last the entire session due to fatigue.

You can share a car, but it's still $350 per driver. Spectators are welcome, as there is a lot of great sight lines around the skid pad.

Space is limited to 12 drivers per session, so please sign up early. We will run a wait-list in case there are any cancellations.

Note: This is a wet skid pad, so tire wear is very minimal. As with any high performance track event, there is a chance to damage your car or tires. On rare occasions, if you slide off the concrete pad and/or run over a sprinkler head, you could incur damage. Be sure to use at least minimum rated tire pressures.

No cancellations or refunds after September 30th, unless we can fill your slot with someone from the waitlist.

You have asked for more skid pad time and this is the best opportunity you will ever find to get it!

BMW CCA membership is REQUIRED. Your name on Motorsportreg must match your BMW CCA membership record.
