BMWs, come to Willow Springs on 6-28-09!

Palantirion · 06-14-2009, 09:13 PM

I've arranged with Speed Ventures to hold a dedicated BMW-only run group on Sunday, 6-28-09. I'll be taking my Z4 MC. All BMWs (and Minis) are welcome!

The BMW Run Group is for drivers with some previous track experience. Novices are of course welcome to attend and should sign up for the Beginners & BMW Group. I highly encourage all Beginners & BMW Group drivers to pay for first-time-driver in-car instruction. Speed Ventures charges very little for this service and it will make your day even more fun!

Speed Ventures runs a very organized and safe event. Willow Springs is a wide, smooth track that is the easiest track to learn in CA and also provides subtle challenges for advanced drivers.

Follow THIS LINK, then sign up for the 6-28-09 date and choose either the "BMW" Group or the "Beginners & BMW" Group.

We need at least 20 cars registered by the 21st to hold the run group as BMW-only, so please add your name to the list below:
1) Palantirion
2)

p.s. If we get enough signups we could get a second BMW-only group!

*UPDATE*
I'm merging the list from several forums (listing the overnight response):
1) Palantirion, Z4 MC
2) Gbogh3, E39 M5
3) Ghostrider, E60 M6
4) Batman, E39 M5
5) Roadwarrior, E39 540
6) IMZ4N, Z4 3.0si
7) g24, E60 M5
8)...

Also, guys, don't just add you names to this list...REGISTER with Speed Ventures so we can keep our run group!

Did Aaron give you a discounted price? He usually gives a group discount for groups this large.

-He says that anyone who registers with Speed Ventures with a BMW by 6-22 will get a free transponder for timing, or $10 off their bill.

Btw, I just saw that there will be two races on the 28th at Willow. One will be a Miata Challenge, the other will be a Club Corvette Challenge. Should make for some great viewing between sessions!

And a reminder: The event will be held rain or shine (not that it rains in Lancaster), and even if we don't get to 20 BMWs and hold our BMW-only run group the extra spots will simply be taken up by other cars...which we can then school

Also, Aaron will be holding a complimentary BBQ on Saturday night, for those of you driving up the night before. Details will be delivered via email after you register.
