Annual Lone Star Chapter BMW CCA
Spring 2014 Driver’s Education Weekend
APRIL 26-27th 2014
at the Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX

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.

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 (B) and Advanced+ (A) Level Solo Students $305

Novice/Beginner (D) and approved Intermediate (B) Level students $325
