What's that?

Who or where is the site to join the track days with BMWCCA NY? I am with the DE chapter (closer to home). Can I join the NY chapter on their track days?

I am going!
Missed the NJ chapter's one last weekend, so opening the season with this one instead.

Absolytely - any BMW CCA member can attend any other chapter's events. Unless they are already full, that is, which I believe this one is.

Weather looks great ! I'll see you there

I wanted to do it but I'm concerned as it would be my first one. Does anyone get the insurance too? Am I going to need new tires after this? Lol.

I did my first track day last week on thunderbolt and I didn't get insurance because I was in novice group and there was no passing unless in designated zones so I guess depends on what group you in.

Also did not need tires after 3 sessions if you have decent tread on your wheels you'd be fine I didn't even notice much wear on mine and I went pretty hard on the last session (as hard as you can go for novices lol)

Thats slightly comforting.

I signed up earlier and got waitlisted.

There is no passing without an explicit point-by in any run group in any of the DE events run by BMW CCA.
All novice and intermediate groups get 1:1 instructors to not only teach you (which they will!), but to keep other over-eager participants in check and busy learning.

DEs are WAY safer than driving on the street with all the regular lunatics !

Sooner or later we all need new tires!

It's like condoms - if you are saving and not using them, you are definitely not having any fun !

wish i could hit this one up! but i will be down for the devil in the dark 12H there on the 22nd

Season opener..can't wait!

Only bummer is that NJMP doesn't allow any 4-point belts, so I can't use my DOT-approved Schroth QF on that track.

All Drivers:

NJ does not allow shorts, open toe shoes or as pointed out, 4pts.
Gates open at 6am, we will tech cars as soon as we can so empty the cars and get online.

For anyone who got bumped, NYBMWCCA sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience, please try to register earlier if possible to secure your spot for the next event which is Watkins Glen:
https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...bmw-cca-997316

Remember we have to find instructors for you, leaving 2 or 3 days is difficult as most instructors already have 2 drivers to coach.

All others, please print out your tech and medical forms, have fresh brake fluid, and check the helmet is in the car. Bring drinks and snacks. All gopro's and other devices in car will need to be tethered to something or asked to be removed.

Lets have a great day, sunny and 65F!
