Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that the nw alfa romeo club is having a high performance driving school march 8 at bremerton raceways. Its $110 (cheaaap usually 500). You can find more info @ www.nwalfaclub.com

To register:

Just send a check made payable to NWARC to Kathleen Boutiette, 15025 SE 177th Pl #10B, Renton, WA 98058.

and email dj.emerson@comcast.net with your info. You can try to email kathleen but I was told emerson is doing the registration this time.

I'm going.. someone on here should go too. Let me know if you do plan to go. All my buddys flaked out so I'm rolling solo as of now

 

I'm already signed up - glad to see another VQ will be there!!

 

That is really cheap.

 

BMP is cheaper, and I wonder if they subsidize a portion of it b/c it's their school....or maybe just run it at-cost.

Either way, $110 is a great price to pay to hit speeds 100+ MPH legally

 

They have one hear in Portland. It's a 2 day class.
You spend Thursday night in a classroom, then all day Friday at PIR driving.
It ran $160 last year, I'll have to see how much it's going to be this year.
They run it a couple times a year.

 

only $30 to do it at the drag strip if your car can do 100 by the end of it

 

yeah, that's basically what Bremerton is, old airport...and why its only $110...

 

TC's first day is March 7th at PIR...$179.......already signed up

 

do u need to have taken a car clinic course to be able to sign up for this?

 

I'm actually very seriously considering this. However, is this the actual BMP layout? That's it?

 

from their site:

"This event is open to valid licensed drivers* who have attended our Driving School or have beginner/novice level experience in High Performance Driving."

you can always ask and see what they say...if there's space, and you can sell them that drag racing counts towards experience, I could see them letting you in.

 

I've never done a track day there, but from what I understand, that's the basic jist of it (IIRC there's slaloms and some staggered cone gates to slow you down after the long straights)...I've autoX'd several times there, but our autoXs have many more turns.

 

Interesting. I just realized I'm supposed to be going to Mt. Hood that that weekend, but on Sat. night. Hmmm....

What time would this Performance Driving School end?

 

looks just like a dragstrip to me.

 

I don't have any experience, I told them that when I registered and all they said was "See you there!" So I assume its ok. For 110 bucks you can't beat having an instructor ride with you. Even if it looks like a drag strip.

 

here's a google map of it:

the drag strip is on the South portion...when they run a "track day", it's not just 2 long straight-a-ways...they throw some turns in there.

 

Sweet, do we get to go into that area of the track that goes into the trees?

 

I think it starts around 8:30am, but what time do they wrap up?

 

did u call them and talk to them or just email them? i just sent them an email inquiring if i could sign up, imma sign up if they let me

 

Bah, I'll be outta town. Weak!
