BMW CCA DE at Laguna Seca 3/14

ltw 11 · 01-13-2011, 12:57 AM

Anyone from here going to this drivers education track day?

aus · 01-13-2011, 01:11 AM

I just wish it was a 2 day event. It would make the drive up mid week worth it.

mastek · 01-13-2011, 02:24 AM

Isn't it like a ridiculous $600 ??

ff1600 · 01-13-2011, 05:50 PM

$349 for BMW CCA members, $397 for non-members (non-member pricing includes a 1-year non-refundable BMW CCA membership)

Humm this is tempting..

LittleBlueBMW · 01-14-2011, 05:56 PM

Hmm I like going to these with CCA but I have been paying 189 with NorCal racing for the same Track day, and getting a little more time. If only there was an infineon weekend.

Track Masters has something March 5 – 6.

Doesn't look like there's an event at Infineon March 12-13 and Laguna Seca is Barber.

The Infineon schedule shows SpeedVentures March 5-6???

We will be there ...

While BMW CCA prices are a bit higher than other clubs, you will learn a lot from the experienced instructors that are offered to you at no extra charge. Plus it is a very safe environment for those who doesn't have a lot of track time ...

+1. I trailered my M3 out & attended the BMW CCA DE event at Laguna last May. It was great to have an instructor the first time I'd been to this track. That said, the second half of the day I felt a lot more confortable and I found myself wishing I had more track time, less talky-talky from the guy sitting passenger.

Lucky bums. Man I'd love to get on Laguna Seca soon. Lots of snow and cold in the Midwest right now.

Anyone with Stoptech or AP Racing kit on their M3 that would like to test the fitment of a composite brake cooling system at this Laguna Seca DE event?
This is not for my car but for a manufacturer who's going to this BMW CCA event. Trying to help them out!

Thanks

It's on a Monday I think. We are driving up Sunday morning from Bakersfield and back Monday night to L.A. after the event. Make a nice weekend in Monterey out of it.

aus · 02-23-2011, 09:37 PM

Is there an event going on at Butttonwillow that weekend?

LittleBlueBMW · 03-17-2011, 01:36 AM

skipped it for work, next one hopefully.
Did get the Skip Barber three day school at LS as a gift.

Will be interesting to take it to the next level.
