I am planning on the Saturday school as well. I have a buddy who lives in CS, so will probably crash down there the day before so I don't have quite as much drive.

I'm going to do both days, staying in Pueblo between the two nights. If you can swing it, I'd try to do both days also.

You guys are going to have a blast.

Hey guys- I'm signed up for Saturday. I'll probably get a room Friday night since getting up at 4 AM doesn't sound like fun.

This will be my first time at a track, ever. How about you guys?

Is everyone going to the car control clinic too?

Sweet man, where are you planning on staying? I'm at the Ramada since the club got a discount ($69 night) there.

I'll see you all at the car control clinic. I've been to a few before, so I'll probably just be there helping out, but I'll probably do a few spins on the wet skidpad. I never get tired of that!

Yeah I'm booked already. Both nights. If you can do it, I'd recommend staying for Sunday and either driving or at the minimum, working the corners. I'd be shocked if you're not hooked after Saturday.

I learned a ton by working corners since you're at one corner and see good lines and bad lines. More importantly, you can hear the engines of A group (and instructor) people to help you figure out where (prior to apex) and how (smoothly and progressively) to start getting on gas.

Yeah let's try to drive down together. We can try to coordinate at the car control clinic.

Racey - you should try to hit up the hotel also. I'm sharing a room with some friends to save cost. You should do the same if that's your concern since you do have to get to the track by 7:30am.

It says here "You must arrive at the track no later than 6:45 AM."

Not true?

Actually guys I am not going to make it to this driving school unfortunately. Got laid off from my job last week, so have to re-adjust some of my priorities.

I am an instructor and will be there both days, as well as the Friday before for the instructor drive. Also the Car Control Clinic. I don't think I am bringing the 335i this time, gonna dust off the E30 M3 for the spring school.

It appears that there is a dinner Friday night at the Ruby Tuesday's in Pueblo, at 6pm. You can also register early so you don't have to wake up at butt crack of dawn the next morning.

Any of you guys thinking about heading down then? I will probably leave directly from work and head down there. It's pretty fun to shoot the shit with some other BMW folks over some food and booze.

A few of my friends are going, too, so it should be a blast.

I won't be able to get down to Pueblo until 8 PM or so, so no Ruby Tuesday for me.
