M3Post Private trackday at Waterford Hills- Summer 2022

As a result of a discussion stemming from the SE Michigan Cars & Coffee thread, I am starting this topic separately to explore the possibility of E9X/M3Post Private Open Trackday at Waterford Hills roadcourse in Clarkston, MI, sometime in June- Aug.

Based on my prior experience with such an event, here are some details for weekday rental:

No more than 15 cars
Gate will open at 10,00am On track from noon - 4:00pm
Rental Fee ~ $1,800.00 per day (est for 2022 CY -payable by cash, check, Visa, Mastercard)
Insurance - Included in rental fee
Workers - 3 @ $75.00 each (Bring $225.00 cash to pay workers)
No ambulance
No Wrecker
No concession Stand
Tech inspection is on the driver.

I will send a note to them regarding their availability and rates for this year and update the cost.
Expect the cost for participation to be between $135-$200 for 4 hours of unlimited (technically )track-time, based on headcount.

Please respond if you want to go hell for leather with fellow Bimmerpost-ers at Waterford Hills this summer.

100% in - thank you for getting this thread and info together.

Depending on the dates, I have several friends who would be interested as well, though they'd be bringing E46M, clown shoe, and maybe a spec miata.

Perhaps we keep it restricted to this thread/forum for now, and open it up if more entrants are needed?

I'm in, depending on dates. I may not bring my E90 M3 but may bring my new CT4V Blackwing, if that's allowed.

Great purchase! I had an ATS-V for a few years...such an underrated sports car. Incredibly composed & the steering was so communicative and precise. I wish it had a few hundred more revs and a better exhaust note, but it pulled HARD. I was so happy to see that they're carrying that engine on in the 4-blackwing. Enjoy it!

Edit: If they're still offering it, definitely do the V-Academy at Spring Mountain. The instructors were mostly active IMSA drivers or long term driving coaches and the experience was absolutely top notch.

Ah finally some responses!
I have sent a note of enquiry to Doug Anthony at Waterford. Hopefully there are some open dates in July/August.
- The intention was to keep the event to this forum only, however getting 15 drivers could be a challenge so lets give preference to this forum members and then make it member+1 or +2 depending on remaining open spots.
- Although E9X is preferred, I dont think even a non-BMW is a show stopper; the more the merrier, as long as we can reach at least 10 drivers and cap it at 15. Now, this has me tempted to get my track virgin E36.
Please note that the cost is usually for the driver only not the car(s). If you want to bring 2 cars to run at the track, you can but I will confirm with Doug.

This sounds excellent, and I’m interested, there’s also a few E92 guys local to me in Wisconsin that I’ll send this too as well. Would be nice to venture away from our local tracks here…Keep is posted if this develops!

Thanks for the heads up about the V Academy. My salesman never mentioned this but I looked it up. Looks like a good class so I'm going to be signing up.

Sure thing. So far it seems like we have 4 interested candidates, I maybe able to rope in a couple drivers.

Update from Waterford hills

The details are as follows
AVAILABLE DATES: AUGUST 11th OR AUGUST 18th 2022
Gate open at 9:00am
On track noon - 4:00pm
Base Rental $2,050.00
Liability Insurance included in base rental
Corner Workers: 3 @ $75.00 each (please bring $225.00 cash to pay the workers)
EMS available @ $140.00 per hour.

The track's insurance company says no more than 10 cars on the track at a time with no limit on the number of cars in total. 15 - 20 cars would be no problem

I will start a poll shortly to decide on the date. Cost will depend on number of drivers signing up.
