Windy City BMW will be back at the nearby Blackhawk Farms Raceway in August. Again, you’ll have the opportunity to have your lap timed, Autocross-style.

Each run group will have four 25-minute sessions on track. If you choose timed laps for your 4th session just indicate that option when registering. Timed laps will be from a standing start at pit out, one full lap around then exiting at Turn 5. Lap timing will continue until the session is over. Open slots for these runs are limited and will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis.
Overall, we’re planning 4 groups, with 2 of them consisting of open track for all four sessions--passing anywhere with a signal.
A third group will include Instructors/Experienced HPDE drivers with three open track sessions - passing anywhere with a signal, then one final session where you will be timed.
The 4th group will be vetted Autocrossers with 3 sessions - passing restricted to the 3 straights - plus one final session where you will be timed. There will be no autocross points nor time factoring based on vehicle classification.
The Autocross Committee will be vetting and contacting Experienced Windy City autocrossers to see if they would like to participate in this novel event. All participant cars must meet the HPDE requirements (i.e.. any convertibles must have a fixed rollbar across the full width of the car, hardtop in place, etc.)
NO in-car or lead/follow instruction (hence this event is not open to novice drivers, Instructors/Experienced HPDE drivers, and vetted Experienced autocrossers only.).
No spectators or ride alongs at this event.
For drivers not familiar with Blackhawk Farms there will be a low-speed conga line before the event goes hot, we will supply the lead cars, no passing, 50 MPH limit.
The price of this event is $195 for each driver in each group.
