Fastlaps is booked for June 27th, so should I count you in?

As we get a little closer, I'll probably book some more dates starting in May.

That'd really be great if you have the room....
If you fill up with your regulars I understand though.

done. just a special note on this event only (not my other events) priority will be given to the regulars of this event first and then if I have space the others. This event is my big summer event and I only have limited spaces.

other events will be more open, but I'll still reserve the right to accept or reject new (unknown) participants.

sorry it has to be this way, but if you've ever attend my events, it's one of the only ways I can keep it very safe and very high quality.

The summer tires are actually almost gone, so I would not mind testing it out on track actually. Hopefully have the BBK by spring too.

Think that driver is "chromem3" from maxbimmer fame, a baller that had a chromed M3 and then painted is maser MC12 pearl white or something. He has a tuned cayenne turbo.

Never taken my car to a track although I've always dreamed of letting it rip and testing the car's limits! :D I guess I've always been worried about abusing the car too much: engine, tires, rims, brakes, suspension...I have no idea what the proper etiquette would be (if any lol) for someone who has the passion but is still to worried about his daily driver.

lol I'm sure you get this type all the time and perhaps I should do more research about this subject but still I'd love to come out and at least watch and learn if not participate.

Thank you! I already contacted BMW Canada back in September and asked them to contact me as soon as the dates are available; would be cool if they remembered, but I am definitely taking the Advanced II and Perfection this summer. I checked their site again and it said the 2008 dates will be released this month. Will be checking every day! :)

Just want to point out GeoS link is driving your own car vs Caddyshk link is driving bmw supplied car. :rolleyes:

Yup, got that...I think the "driving your own" car is something I'd do after the BMW training so I can handle my car with experience. Then I'd be looking to pursue getting some level of racing licence! :)

i've gone through the racing license thing - here is a group that does a school twice a year. i believe that this year is at calabogie.
