BMW CCA car control clinic and autox SF Bay Area - July 19/20

I will have my 135i convertible out for the first time at this autox. I would love to see a few other 1-ers out there as well. Sign up if you want to spend a day guiding your car through the cones and hanging out with other BMW car nuts. It will fill up early so register now. We have driver coaches and try to make it fun and easy for first timers. There is no penalty for cancellation as long as you cancel within 5 days of the event. The autox is on Sunday July 20th.

The autox is back-to-back with a car control clinic. So if you want to learn what your 1-er can do on a skid pad, slalom and hard braking then come out to the Car Control Clinic. The clinic is on Saturday July 19th.

http://www.ggcbmwcca.org/?page=calendar&id=305

The events are held in the town of Marina. Attend either event or make it a 2-day BMW weekend and come out to both. We would love to see you out there. Sign up early as both events will sell out.

Awesome! It should be a short drive for you since you are in Monterey. Stop by and introduce yourself when you get there. I will have the SGM 135i vert and will also be the tallest guy there. :biggrin:

You can run your accord if you want. The only criteria is that you be a BMW CCA member. Of course unless you have a BMW you will be in the non-compete class.

You can come down and watch for free. Also, most people will give ride alongs for at least their first 2 runs (as they are only practice runs). All you need is to sign the waiver and borrow a helmet from the trailer (if you do not have one). I would say that 90% of the people you ask would give a ride along for their first couple of runs.

Autox tip: look ahead and don't hit the cones. :wink:

I believe the 135i runs in B class. this month B class will run 2nd and work 3rd. So you will have the morning to see how things are done and get some ride alongs with the first group. Stop by and see me in the morning and I can point you to the good drivers you can ask for ride alongs.

Sweet

I must say this is all new to me. I dragged my Camaro many years ago, but am new to this whole "turning" deal. It'll be good to get some advice.

16 spots left for the autox.

Hope to see a few more 1addicts out there. Looks like we will have at least three 135 out there dodging the cones. The more, the merrier!

These are great events - I highly encourage anyone who has not done one and can make this one to go for it.

I just checked the registration list for the car control clinic and it looks like there is going to be 6 1ers out there. Should be fun!

Looks like four 135 coupes/verts will be at the autox.

Reg closes Wed, so sign up now if you want to get in. We are only 1 spot from being sold out, so you may end up on the waitlist if you sign up. Let me know if you end up on the autox waitlist. I will see what I can do. :wink:

Was on the waitlist this morning for the autox, but just got a confirmation that I'm registered!

Thanks nordique!

The results from last week are in. The 1-ers did pretty well in B class taking spots 4-8 (out of 17 cars). Hopefully I will be moving up the ranks next month now that I have had my first autox in the car.

Oh man, it was a blast! It's pretty cool to see all the 135's pretty much within a second of eachother.

I can't wait till the 23rd. I just got confirmation from the S.O. that I can make it
