10/10/2009 - Driving School @ Jefferson Circuit

[RedMS3]

Doh! I missed the payment window part. Am I too late to pay?

I missed the entire registration + payment window...Is there any chance to sneak in?

[DougV]

Registration period has been extended. Register on-line and send in your payment. We're still accepting applications.

When will we find out if we've been registered? I've been holding off getting HPDE insurance just in case I didn't make the list. Thanks.

[Dirichlet]

Judging by how my car has operated at the last few schools, I'd probably be better off with this...

I've signed up for HPDE insurance the day before going so that's no problem, but that won't be an issue - you'll be given much more than a day's notice...

WOW you finally found a BMW that can handle your driving habits! I'll bring the turban in case the weather is hot!

Colin,

You're too hard on yourself......'course this model doesn't have a water based cooling system, so to speak!

I just realized I never sent mine, even after re-asking the question here. It'll be in tomorrow's mail, save my spot!

AG, I wouldn't be too worried if you applied a week ago. The school wasn't full as of this past weekend. Any fencesitters who think it's too late still have a shot. Bonbahn

I'm interested in attending the driving school. This would be my first performance instructional course. I've attempted to look at the website for Summit Point, and the Jefferson Circuit and cannot find the details about what to bring, what you need to have, I get that I need to have helmet; but what are the requirements for vehicle? Do I understand that I'd need to bring my own? Does the vehicle need to have certain restrictions met? Is there a source of information about all this?

And are the courses the same on both days? Or do you take both and build on top of day one?

Thanks in advance.

[AG]

There is a wealth of information on the NCC main site under the Chapter Programs heading, including a FAQ section. Please have a look.

That being said, you will drive your own car, which must pass a technical inspection performed by a mechanic prior to the event.

What is the typical amount of seat time/skid pad time per day?

[DougV]

I have admitted all applicants into the school. Hope to get email confirmations out tomorrow evening.

[DougV]

All email acceptance messages have now been sent.

Hey Doug--I sent you a PM, but maybe you didn't get it.

I'm new to the region & am looking to get some track time at Summit for myself & buddy in Oct. I see the FATT program & the NCCBMW driving school. We're interested in your driving school b/c he has a rebuilt mid-90's M3 and I have an '06 factory John Cooper Works S.

I've read through the FAQ and have two questions:

1. Can we still get into the NCCBMW Oct driving school?
2. How does the instruction and format of the NCCBMW class compare to FATT?

Thanks.
