Default LSC BMW AutoX School March 3rd 2012

Spaces Are Limited!!!!! 20 Students per class!!!!! Only $50.00 per student!!!!!

Registration ends Monday, February 27th!!!!

http://www.dlbracing.com/default.aspx Choose "Calendar View," and go to March 3rd to register.


Lone Star Chapter’s BMWCCA Beginner/Intermediate AutoX School is Saturday, March 3rd 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 twenty 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.

Each student will be assigned two instructors. One for the morning session, and one for the afternoon. The instructors will ride throughout the day with the student, 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.

I definitely need/want to do this....But let me make sure I don't have any pending engagements that might be conflicting with this event.

My work schedule is sometimes very Impromptu & i get very little notice before a job comes up....hopefully I can register in plenty of time before it fills up.

***Michael,......On another note...Do you know or have any information about the HPDE event for this Spring ?
I really want to do that event again.....awesome seat time !

All the DE's are two day events, and the course will run in it's normal counter clockwise direction.


I prefer clockwise.......

Are you signed up for the school workshop on the 3rd ? And then the 2nd event of the year from BMW group is the next day out there.

Two days of fun driving.

The school is 25% full, and more students are being added today. If you wait too long, you will NOT be able to sign up. DLB Racing is preset to a maximum of 20 students.

You won't want to miss our first points paying events on the following Sunday. When I announce the event, you'll know why.........

Michael, are you running a standby list for the school? If so would you put me on it!
Looks like I missed out by a day. I had to wait for my march schedule to come out.

Thanks
