BMW Performance Center for Lone Star Members

October 11, 2016
Registration ends on September 30, 2016 11:59 PM CDT So, what is the M Performance Center? Let's start with "M" - the MotorSport division of BMW. There is a lot of history behind the M brand of BMW but it all started to gain the momentum with the 1978-1981 M1. This car still looks like the future today and we actually have a club member that owns one of the 456 units ever made. To say rare is an understatement. The E30 1986-1991 M3 is really the car most club members drool over when they think about performance in a light, quick automobile. So I'm sure you are thinking that this M Performance Center is all about the old cars…nope - it’s a High Performance Driver's Education (HPDE - remember that term as we do some future articles on it) event using the latest M cars available from BMW. So, the M Performance Center event is separate cost to the tour group and we have opened the event up to any of our members (hopefully Lone Star Chapter first). We have 32 slots to fill. Now the schedule for Tuesday would include: • Cornering • Braking and wet pavement handing • Drifting • Accelerate, brake and corner around a racetrack at high speeds • Sharpen your reflexes in a One-Day School • Using THEIR cars on Track • 8 On-Track sessions in their M cars We have 32 slots available and we'll use MotorSportReg.com to collect a down payment of $350 by June 30th to secure your spot. We need to fill a minimum of 24 slots @ $995/each or all 32 slots @ $700/each in order to host the event. The final cost will total no more than $995 (so no more than $645 additional) and we will bill the second part on July 15th. On July 1st, you will be informed of the number of slots filled and the final net cost (between $700-$995, depending on how many slots we fill). A full refund will be available until July 15th. After July 15th, a full refund is only available if the slot can be filled by another paying member. If you need more details please respond to Joe Sullivan at joe_racer@sbcglobal.net This normally cost a lot per person, but if we can get many people interested and signed up, it could be considerably less for us all.
