I am trying to make this cheaper if you register early and give you options. Hope this doesn’t confuse anyone. Email or post questions.

School registration before or on 2/25/11 - $45, includes morning and afternoon sessions

School registration after 2/25/11 - $60, includes morning and afternoon sessions

If you only want to run the school in the morning - $35 (8AM – Noon)

If you only want to run the afternoon without an instructor - $35 (1:00PM – 4:00PM, 30 minute sessions, work/run format)

School will be capped at 45 drivers
Afternoon will be capped at 60 drivers, school participants will have priority

If you sign up for the Saturday school, afternoon, and Sunday autocross - $80

Due to TMS catering we can only serve hot dogs for lunch on Saturday. Sunday lunch is on your own.

What's the format? Similar to Tire Rack Street Survival school? Instructor drives student car once through each element and then switch and work on technique?

Free entry to Sunday event for Sat instructors? ;)

Does it leak fluids?
Is the battery secure?
Basically if you can't pass tech you should not be driving it. But if you cannot pass we will give you a refund.

Not sure what you're asking. What are the topics? How to autox more effectively. Basic elements, car dynamics, skidpad, slaloms, hand/seat/eye position, etc. Whether you are a total novice or want to improve your skills, this is a good opportunity. Definitely not just for noobs.

A) I'm definitely still a noob.

B) When I go to register, there's car classes A-G and X-Z. Que freakin pasa? My car's STX for SCCA/ER, Class 2 for NTAXS. And a stock Mz3 is H-Stock. I think I'll just register in whatever class still has my number available. :-)

Check the bmw club website. They class by engine displacement, not mods (other than FI). You are class Y. (not classy)

Quote:

Non-BMWs
Non-BMW classes are X thru Z and placement is based on manufacturers’ published engine displacement specifications. Engine displacement is rounded to the nearest tenth of a liter. For example, 2,948cc = 2.9L, whereas 2,950cc = 3.0L.
§ A forced induction displacement multiplier of 1.5 is applied to all non-BMW turbocharged and supercharged engines. For example, a 2.0L turbo engine is classified as a 2.0L X 1.5 = 3.0L engine. This multiplier applies whether the forced induction is done by the original manufacturer or installed as an aftermarket upgrade.
§ Rotary engines are assessed a displacement multiplier of 2.0. For example, a 1.3L rotary engine is classified as a 1.3L X 2.0 = 2.6L engine
NOTE: Rotary engines that have forced induction are assessed both displacement multipliers. For example, a 1.3L turbo rotary engine is classified as 1.3L X 1.5 X 2 = 3.9L

Class X: Non-BMW vehicles less than 2.1 liters (except S2000 and Lotus Elise)
Class Y: Non-BMW vehicles greater than 2.1 liters and less than 4.0 liters. (including S2000 & Elise)
Class Z : Non-BMW vehicles 4.0 liters and above

The use of “R” compound or “slick” tires on a Non-BMW moves the vehicle up to the next higher class.
