DLB registration link says membership is required?

Not sure how often Michael (Zrated167) visits this forum, so I will try to speak on his behalf. The National BMWCCA office sent a requirement that all drivers must belong to the BMWCCA. In order to offset this cost, Michael has been allowing free entry once you send him your receipt for joining the BMWCCA. This is a very good gesture on his part and the local chaptor is eating plenty of registration fees because of it. Shoot him a PM if you need more info.

BMWCCA Membership has been required since January 2012. You can sign up for membership here: http://www.bmwcca.org/index

Like Jerrett said, if you forward me the confirmation email, and your DLB login, I'll sign you up for a future event at Mineral Wells. Unfortunately, we cannot give free events at TMS, and I'm not sure how long the free events will continue, so if you're even considering signing up, don't wait.

Who said no more ride alongs?

Its always been that way; you could only ride with an instructor.

At least they don't require you to buy a German car to join. (.... PCA).

I think the rule about passengers is new this year, or is just now being enforced.

You need to be an instructor to ride or have a passenger. Instructors are assigned by the club.

What about co-drivers? This rule was definitely not enforced before, I think PCA used to enforce it but have since changed their mind.

No problem, if they're an instructor. The National office has enforced the rules with instructors and membership.

Basically, an instructor can ride with anyone and can have riders. No one else. See a board member if you want to be an instruct.

Oh, ve have vays of making you instruct, herr Cosmos.

Only 20 registered, I'm going to register but it depends on if we get a refund if the event moves to MW cause I'm not going to MW.

Edit: I'm in.

C'mon folks, 10 runs at the Bus Lot is awesome!

Damn straight it is!

You'll be like Superfly, and Shaft if you attend this event. I'll wait to compare those who don't sign up later.......

We are up to 23!

Come on folks!

This event will feature the debut of our Chump/Lemons car. You won't want to miss seeing a $500 crapcan get FTD. Or explode. Either makes for good entertainment.

I should have been more specific:

FTD, or Frontotemporal dementia, is the clinical syndrome caused by degeneration of the frontal lobe of the brain.

So close! Need 5 more people to sign up. Don't feel like driving to MW after work! I might register twice if I can apply it towards the next event.

Yay we hit 31

WOOO so TMS it is then... rigggghhhhttt???

On the passenger rule -i was hoping to get some friends to go watch the autoXs and mentioned to them that they could ride with me. since now they cant, would they be able to ride with instructors? i figured since theyre not racers (yet) maybe this could be a way to give them "the bug". plus it would prob be funner to ride with someone with experience lol.. ive seen people at drift events give spectators rides for gas money and what-not...

They can get a ride with an instructor; just make sure they have signed the waiver, which all spectators are supposed to do anyway.

Sweeet! thanks

We are definitely racing at TMS on the 18th.

This is the last day to receive the reduced pre-registration rate! The normal TMS rate of $45 takes effect after tonight, so don't wait to register!

So last thing b4 sat comes around. The rampide autox a couple weeks ago wanted $25 for nonracers to get there cars sound checked, inspected and take a few runs on the course. Todays scca autox at Dallas raceway wanted $40. For next weeks lscbmw autox at TMS, how much will it cost for my buddies that want to watch/ maybe make a few runs? They have a wrx wagon and a celica that the wanna get a feel for what they can do.

They can watch for free, but if they are going to drive, they need to be BMWCCA members, and register for the event through DLB Racing.
