BMW club day at PIR
I am interested in a track day at PIR. I saw that BMW club has a track day end of March. Do I need to join a BMW club to attend that event? ACA? CCA? Any advice or contact info would be appreciated.
Matt

You should check w/the local Portland club, but my guess would be they operate similarly to the Puget Sound club and will require you to be a member. |

You would need to be either a CCA or ACA member to participate from what I understand. That track day is put on by the ACA but they have always allowed CCA members just the same.
The Oregon region CCA club was formed just a few weeks ago and thus was not able to put on a high performance drivers education day this year. We will be gauging interest and demand and possibly begin track days in 2011. In addition the Alpha Romeoclub has extended an invitation to CCA members to participate in their track days. Here are a few websites: www.bmwcca.org www.bmworegoncca.com www.bmwacaportland.com As mentioned above the $48 per year is well worth the CCA membership: Roundel magazine is great 15% or so discount on parts $500 to $1500 back on new and CPO from BMW NA |

It needs to be a snell 2005 or newer.
I talked to a track and race friend that suggested: Competition Motorsports 2242 N Williams Ave. Portland, OR 97227 – 1934 503- 281-1579 |

Great. I looked at their website. I will go checkout some helmets there for fitting purposes.

From their FAQ "Open cars require roll bars (or approved factory roll-over protection) and eye protection." http://www.portlandbmwclub.com/ Look under the activities link |
