1st BMWCCA Track Day of 2012: April 13th

FrenchBoy · 03-07-2012, 12:47 PM

I'm all signed up and super excited about the new track season. Who else is planning to come out?

I am hoping for a fair contingent of E9X M3s on track this year! Come out and play!

Do I need a helmet for the basic car clinic?

EDIT: Nevermind... You do not need one.

Will look at my schedule and see if I can make it down.

FrenchBoy · 03-13-2012, 07:31 PM

Anyone else?

Ssgohan434 · 03-13-2012, 11:16 PM

I've never been to a track before. Would this be a good event for a first timer?

I havne't too and heard great things about the car clinic. I'm just waiting to confirm my other friend is down to do it.

Yes the CCC is a great way (and a prerequisite) to get your feet wet and then sign up for track days. The BMWCCA is very well organized and they have instructors that will help you along the way.

Do it. You'll thank yourself.

How was the event Nicolas? Anything new at the track? Work is very busy I couldn't make it.. I might do the 24th test and tune.

Awesome. Be sure to hang out with us on the paddock between the CCC exercises.

bape_sta206 · 03-15-2012, 06:49 PM

would it be wise for me to put back my factory wheels?

The CCC is pretty easy on the car as it's fairly low speeds so I wouldn't worry about swapping wheels. It's up to you.

Track days are a different story :-)

Do one with PCA as well (they call it Driver Skills).

I'll look into it.

I'm signed up for the CCC, been looking forward to the start of track season.

laoha · 04-02-2012, 01:04 PM

I am trying to sign up HPDS. Do you guys buy separate insurance to cover the event?

Fen335i · 04-02-2012, 11:03 PM

I won't make it for the April event, but I plan on going to the PCA event at Pacific in June.

What do you mean separate? There is no insurance included in the signup fee. And your car insurance won't cover you for track incidents. If you want insurance, you need to buy a specialized track day / lapping day insurance. See the link: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=286902

Finally! Congrats and welcome to the BMWCCA! The April 13th has two events going on at the same time. The HPDE is on the big track and the CCC is on the parking lot adjacent to the paddock. Since you have track experience, sign up for the HPDE. Here is the link.
