Lone Star Chapter BMW CCA
Spring 2021 Driver's Education Weekend
May 29th-30th, 2021
at the Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX
REGISTRATION CLOSES May 23rd, 2021 at 11:59pm.
Come join the Lone Star Chapter BMW Car Club of America for a weekend of fun at the Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX. We will be running the 1.7 mile track in the COUNTER-CLOCKWISE direction both days. Cars of all makes are welcome although there are special requirements/restrictions for convertibles (see below).
Overview
This High Performance Driving School will give you the opportunity to drive your car at speed and to experience the potential of the unique combination of car and driver. It is safe, demanding and most importantly FUN! All students will alternate between classroom sessions and time on the track with an instructor. The individualized instruction is a key to this program that has been developed over decades, and compares very favorably with commercial schools costing many times more. Our experienced instructors have come from racing, autocrossing and BMW CCA driving schools.
Driving School Event Fees (full 2-day weekend only):
Advanced Level Solo Students $299
Novice/Beginner and approved Intermediate Level students $349
NOTE: BMWCCA Membership is required for all students.
For this, and all future Lone Star Chapter BMWCCA Driver's Education events, ALL PAID Driver registrants MUST BE ACTIVE BMWCCA members, and your member number will be automatically verified by the registration system before your registration is complete. If your membership has lapsed, or if you have yet to become a BMWCCA member, please visit www.bmwcca.org to renew or enroll BEFORE completing this event registration. New or newly-renewed memberships are activated overnight so they may not be immediately validated if purchased the same day you are registering.
Run Groups
Instructors and student classing / run groups: Students are assigned to one of four run groups Novice, Intermediate, Advanced commensurate with their experience. Beginner students should select the Novice run group. Drivers with previous, documented and verifiable experience must update your driving history in the motorsportreg.com history area of your registration profile and register for the appropriate run group for which they have previously participated in or qualified for if promoted. Our event Chief Driving Instructor (CDI) reserves the right to review your driving history and reassign your run group based on his assessment of your driving history. Instructor supervision is required at all times while you are on the track. Helmet intercoms (provided by the instructors) are used between the student and instructor to facilitate communication (assuming COVID in-car instruction restrictions are lifted prior to event, otherwise instruction will be lead-follow).
2021 Time Trial Rules
2021 will see the kick-off of a Lone Star Chapter Time Trial run group as part of our May 29th & 30th HPDE Event. Time Trial is a supplement available for our Advanced students and Instructors which will run in a separate run group with transponders attached to each car for live lap timing. Information below will assist you in determining which sub-group your car is classified in. Detailed information can be found here:
