Event Description

This event is a fun run/practice run for our first competition event in April, a full dress rehearsal if you will. We will have the full timing system up and running including the results software so you can track your times and view your results on your phone at the event. To do this, we are requiring everyone to classify your car in the GGC Classification System. This is where you'll get your driver number and determine the points and class your car will participate in for the season. 

No special car preparation is needed, in fact, we recommend you bring the car you drive on a daily basis. Doing so will give you a greater appreciation for your car's capabilities and improve your driving skills in the process.

Our events are very social and we welcome all makes of cars, not just BMWs and MINI. Unlike some other clubs, we don't limit registrations from other marques. Everyone has the same chance of getting in!

Event cost is $85 per participant for members, $143 for non-members (includes 1 year of BMWCCA membership - $58). Click the button below to get signed up!

Questions? Please write us.

HOW TO SIGN UP

Step 1 - Select Driver Number and Classify Your Car

To classify, visit the GGC Classification System to create an account, select a driver number and enter your car details and modifications. If you already have an account, please be sure your classification is accurate before registering for this event. The GGC system is the keeper of the unique driver numbers and car data and every driver must have their own account, driver number, and car classification to participate. 

General information, forums, etc here: https://www.bmwautocross.com
Access the online classification system here: https://www.bmwautocross.com/autocross/

WARNING: If you fail to complete this step before you register, and/or we cannot match the information you provide to an active classification at bmwautocross.com, your registration will be placed on hold until you do. It's easy and quick and you will only have to do this once unless you make changes to your car. It is very important that you take care of this step before you register for this event.

Go-karts: Competitors driving karts of any kind are required to wear full-face helmets; a collar-type neck brace designed for motorsports use; and gloves, jackets, and full-length pants made of leather, vinyl, abrasion-resistant (ballistic) nylon or equivalent.

Step 2 - Understand Requirements
Read ALL of the content in this event listing to make sure you understand the event requirements, including: COVID-19 information, event location, waivers, membership requirements, payments, cancellation policy, tech inspection checklist, timeline, helmet requirements, waitlist, and guest policy.

Step 3 - Be a Member
BMWCCA membership is required to participate. If you're not an active member of BMWCCA, you will need to join or renew your membership before signing up. We prefer you do this yourself at bmwcca.org, but if you like, you may register as a non-member and we'll take your money and pass it along to BMWCCA National to renew or activate your membership on your behalf. If you register and your membership is not current, your registration will be placed on hold until you provide proof that your membership is active. If we cannot verify your membership by the time registration closes, your registration may be cancelled.

Step 4 - Register
Complete the registration form and sign the electronic waiver.
