You will learn how to handle and control your vehicle at speeds not normally attained on public roads. It will allow you to explore your capabilities as a driver and those of your vehicle. It will also help make you a better driver and to prepare you for emergencies in normal everyday driving.
The event is open to all drivers 18 years of age and older and all makes of cars. It is not a "BMW only" event. All cars and drivers will be subject to the same safety and inspection requirements. You will be required to take your car to a mechanic within one month of the event. There is a tech inspection form that you must bring with you to the event that the mechanic information and signature must be on that sheet.

Damn, I'm probably not going to be back in time for that. Even if I am, my car won't be ready nor inspected.
Ya we're looking primarily in Keller and some in North Fort Worth (it all kinda bleeds in together up here). Not sure if the owner would even sell this house, but we're looking for something bigger anyway.
True, but I'd be driving 13-14 hours/900+ miles from Chicago to Dallas (April 29th would be the earliest I can leave) and I'd rather have the inspection done after the long road trip, rather than before.. just in case. Plus, my schedule doesn't allow for much alone time with the car (installs, repair, maintenance, racing, etc) with my grad school workload. I'm in need of new diff bushings and new rotors, which won't be installed by then.
A tip for everyone.
Have your car inspected at Nissan under the "Free 100 point inspection"
Ive never paid for a Tech Inspection this way!

That's a good idea. Are there specific conditions to getting this done (i.e., promotion deal or just show up and ask for it)?
Bada$$ idea! definitely doing that next month! btw, just got my car registered in a non-emissions testing county, WHOOP! let the games begin!
I think it's an everyday thing, although I get advertisements for it in the mail as well.
I just bring in the Tech Inspection form, and have them do the things on the list, as they perform the routine inspection.

Hoping they call off work again tomorrow.
