This would be a great time for you to try out VIR's wonderful track. They will have 3 single day driving schools. Full course if i recall correctly.

 

OK, just spoke with the BMW CCA. You do have to be a member to go to the school. I think it's $35 a year and well worth it. You get a monthly mag and a local news letter that depends on your chapter.

Each day of school is $150. that's about par for the course. A weekend school is usually just under $300. You have to designate what day you want or they will put you in whichever one they want to put you in. They also have autocross going on at VIR that week and it's much cheaper but, I know nothing about that so you'll have to read up on how it's being run.

 

John,
Thanks for posting that valuable information. I hope members will come up to be a part of all the festivities.

 

i'm signed up for the wednesday school. anyone else?

 

anyone else going to O fest?

 

Just found your post. I'll be at the Monday and Wednesday VIR driving school events and the Tuesday autocross. There is at least one other MINI I know of who plans to be at the Monday event.

 

great, good to know there will be more than one there. i got an e-mail the other day saying we could sign up for another day. i'll be at the monday banquet and the tues. and wed. driving school. are you staying by the track or in greensboro?

 

I'll be staying in Greensboro on Saturday and Sunday but at VIR after that. When I made reservations last week, The Lodge at VIR still had a few rooms available for $99 per night.

 

very nice to meet you David and Pete. i had a great time at the track. hope to see you at some other track events there. i'll get some cd's off to you both when i get the other set of pics.

 

David, sorry but i've lost your address. i'll get that cd of pics to you from o fest as soon as i get your address again.

pm me please
