As I mentioned in a different thread, we just did a car controler clinic with out local BMW club. This was great fun, its something I've wanted to do for a while. The BMW club also makes this a prerequisite for doing their track days (aka driving schools), but that wasn't the primary reason for doing this.

I'd encourage anyone to try doing this sort of thing, even if you have no intention of ever doing a track day. You can find you local BMW club chapter here: http://www.bmwcca.org/index.php?pageid=chapter_finder. The local chapter here has upcoming ones in July and October.

 

My wife and I did the one last Fall in Monterrey. It is indeed a great event - especially for newer drivers.

We just moved to Mountain View btw Maybe I'll see you around - or at Infineon w/ HOD.

 

I did one of these a year ago with the local BMW club and had a blast. I'm now hooked on auto-x.
