Lone Star Chapter’s BMWCCA Beginner/Intermediate AutoX School is Saturday, February 23rd at the Mineral Wells Airport.
This course is geared towards the Novice Autocrosser. Learning the proper techniques early will be of huge benefit, and will help students advance much quicker in the sport.
Registration will be limited to fifteen students. With a low Instructor-Student ratio, each student will have a lot of one on one instruction. Students will definitely learn a lot, and taking notes is highly encouraged.
The instructors will ride throughout the day with the students, encouraging proper techniques, and helping them improve their lap times.
The morning session will include proper seating position, hand position, acceleration/braking, and learning to navigate properly through an AutoX course. During the afternoon session, students will learn how to read a course quicker, helping lap times drop faster. Students will have many, many laps during the day, and improvements will be evident in their recorded lap times. Students will be a much faster driver after only one day of instruction!
BMW has also secured special hotel rates at the Days Inn and Suites. This is the newest, and nicest hotel in Mineral Wells. The nightly rate is $72.95, and sharing a room for $36.50 per person is very economical. Their number is (940) 468-2727, and be sure to mention Lone Star BMW when you register.
Please feel free to email me with any questions, and I have also included a small FAQ below.

Nevermind. I'm registered.
I'll be there since I can't make the PCA Event on Sunday. I did this about a year ago, It will be interesting to do it again with more experience.

Awesome! Thanks for posting something like this.

Hmm... last year my car died about an hour into this class. If I have the MS3 installed and running by then(unlikely) I might have to take a day off work to try again. Not really a novice, but I sure suck at driving.

I just registered for this event, but it's really my wife that will be the student. I will come with her, so if you need another instructor, let me know.

If you want to instruct your wife in driving that's cool, but BMW insurance won't cover divorce attorneys.

Good move. I tried it once and it didn't work out well.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
