About this event
Bluegrass Bimmers Chapter BMW CCA would like you to join us for our fourteenth annual Driving School Event. Students undergo a mixture of classroom and behind-the-wheel education under the supervision of trained instructors. The course of study includes vehicle dynamics, vehicle limits and limitations, driving line and track safety. Exercises are performed at speeds that are appropriate to the experience of the student. Cars must undergo technical and safety inspections prior to coming to the event. Helmets are required (Snell 2000 or newer); a limited number of loaner helmets are available. An additional Track Orientation Day is also scheduled for Friday, July 4. It is available for all instructors and qualified students for an additional fee. Students interested in being considered for attending should check the appropriate box on the application form. We will contact you after evaluating your previous experience to inform you if you have
been accepted. This weekend is also a BMW CCA Club Race with practice, qualifying and races on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The School and the Club Race are totally separate events. If additional time is required for a Race related incident, everything possible will be done to see that no time will be lost from the School. Race cars will never be on the track at the same time as students. No racers are allowed to instruct in this school.
This Driving Event is a non-timed, non-speed, non-competitive school and it is not a race or practice for a race. You need to read and understand the coverage and exclusions of your specific auto insurance policy and be prepared to assume the risk of participating in this school.
The organizing chapter carries additional liability insurance for this event, but that insurance does not cover any damages that may happen to your car. That is your responsibility.
School Location: Putnam Park Race Course, Mt. Meridian, IN. located approximately 40 miles west of Indianapolis. Putnam Park is a 1.8 mile, 10 turn, internationally known teaching and testing facility. The track is tight and technical with some interesting elevation changes and off-camber turns. It rewards skill, not horsepower. School headquarters will be the Holiday Inn Express in Cloverdale. Rooms have been blocked out at the Holiday Inn Express. Please mention the BMW CCA Bluegrass Bimmers Drivers School to receive a special rate.
