They will also have helmets and accessories you can try on and buy at the track. You can click the link to their website, or call Bob ahead of time for will call orders.
PFC Brakes will be doing a presentation on how brakes work, and provide information on what works best. They will dispel some myths that abound in paddocks around the country. The presentation will take place during lunchtime on Saturday. We will announce the location during the event.
As several people have asked, no, convertibles are not permitted at BMW CCA HPDE events, unless they have a full roll cage and pass the necessary inspection. This includes BMW hard top convertibles. We hear that this is being discussed at the National level.
Due to BMW CCA national requirements we have had to make some changes to pricing. Each nonmember registration will include one year of membership with the BMW CCA. The Sandlapper Chapter BMW CCA will handle all necessary filings once your registration is complete. Please be patient as the necessary information will not be submitted until registration for this event has closed.
The Holiday Inn we used last year will not reserve a block for us. They do have rooms available, but have a large group there that weekend.. There are 2 other hotels right next to the Holiday Inn, you might try them to find the lowest rate. There is a Super 8 in Lancaster that is the same distance from the track, and much cheaper.
