KC BMW "Drive Till You Drop Autocross School" 6/7/

Post by Import Specialist Racer » Sun Apr 13, 2008 8:11 am

OMR!

Here it is!!!! (open for registration via motorsportreg)and its the 4th year of this popular school!

Barron BMW presents the 2008 KC BMW Autocross School AKA "Drive Till You Drop Autocross School" The School will be held in a cooler environment on Saturday JUNE 7th. And at Arrowhead Lot L. I have already invited some smoking fast instructors from out of the KC area! :thumbup: St Louis, Omaha, Wichita, Topeka, (KC as well). (FWIW - lots of these guys have beaten me in my own car :roll: :oops: )

This School is for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced students with more personalised instruction than any Autocross School in the country. This would also be good followup for students that have attended Teen Street Survival School (or Evolution) and want some (more) High Performance training as well as more tweaking of skills for advanced students. :cruisin:

Benefits include but not limited to:
*LOTS of drive time, Students last year had all they wanted. :supergrin:
*Personalised instruction for the Midwest's best and fastest drivers. Some are National Champions! :ahmmm:
*Ride alongs with Instructors in their own vehicles (and yours). See how it supposed to happen.
*Performance event in a controlled environment. The only way it should happen!!
*See what your car can do!!!!!
*Any car allowed except for SUV's (and Tanks)
*Barron BMW Presents Back Yard Burgers!!! Free Lunch and Water.
* Its still early and can work on new skills all year!!!

All this for only $75!
(Must be a BMW member and any car is very welcome!)(cars are per SCCA Solo-II rules) Non members must Join BMW club which is about $43 so that + $75 is $118 and still more than $100 less than Evolution (and may be more drive time). To join BMW go to www.bmwcca.org (quickly as it takes a couple of day to confirm) Let me know once you do. oldredm3 at gmail.com

There is an event the next day as well (KCRSCCA) enter the KCRSCCA event via motorsportreg.

8) He made that himself i would think. I have a couple I made for 04 nationals I'm not using.
I can get that stuff made as well. even full blown windshield banners.

I made a bunch of ///MPower banners that I sold to the E30///M3 Special Interest Group.

We need more BMW members in Spfd. Our Board has a bit of a verity of makes. Audi, Corvette, Porsche, I have a Jeep and a Old BMW.

Oh, Adam at Import Specialist is the New Spfd VP for the BMW Club.

Larry stepped down last year. Larry was very good too. :D

Geter done Gang....... Lots of "Drive Time: hence the drive till you drop title..... I would love to assist the Spfd gang to get faster! :D

Join BMW via bmwcca.org let me know when you have a number (takes a couple of days.) Let me know if you are in process and I will reserve a spot till you get a number)

Keep in mind (you know this probably) it is at Arrowhead in KC. Need to be there early like 8 AM. Drivers meeting is at 9am and runs start at 10 AM Sharp.

Looks like some more OMR peeps wana-get fast!

8) So how many of you registered? I know Bobby Jansen has. Seems he is very aggressive in his education this year. 2 Evolution Schools and my KC BMW gig.
Looks like he just may be smoking a lot of you guys :lol: :lol:
He could possibly give Mark a run for his money too! :roll: :lol:
And he paxed well out of like over 100 cars.... 14th!

It will be interesting how this plays out this year.

So?
