October 29-30, 2016
Welcome novice and returning students to San Diego and Central Cal Chapter BMW Car Club of America High Performance Drivers Education (HPDE) School at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, Buttonwillow, California.
Our Driving School mission is to improve your driving skills while having fun. Our goal is to teach you safe driving skills and habits in a controlled situation. We hope what you learn will benefit you in your normal day-to-day driving, especially when confronted with emergency situations. We will emphasize the relationship of the driver and vehicle, how to make them function in unison, and give you the opportunity to learn your limitations and expand your capabilities. Our Instructors have a lot of driving experience to mentor students.
We use a racetrack to provide a safe, controlled environment. This is not a racing school. Emphasis will be on safe, smooth, controlled driving. At no time will you be pressed to go any faster than you are comfortable. Participants will be grouped according to experience and, to some degree, model of automobile.
Registration opens August 17, 2016, at Motorsportreg.com. Early Bird registration fee is $475 through October 17, 2016. This fee includes individual in-car track instruction, classroom sessions, lunch Saturday and Sunday and Saturday Banquet at Willow Ranch BBQ with a raffle of merchandise from our sponsors. Water will be provided throughout the event. It is important to stay hydrated.
The Motel 6 is the host hotel. The Motel 6 is located at 20638 Tracy Ave, Buttonwillow, CA 661 764 5153. We will offer light appetizers at our event registration mixer on Friday night, October 28th, from 5:30-8:00 PM at the hotel. Please bring your Tech Inspection form, Medical Information form, proof of insurance and SNELL 2005 or newer helmet to get signed off during the registration process.
We would like to thank our long time sponsor BMW of Escondido – Brecht Motorsports. And Independent Motorcars of San Diego.
