Hoosier Chapter BMW Rites O' Spring HPDE

You're invited to join us for the Hoosier Chapter's 25th Anniversary Rites o’ Spring Driver School at Putnam Park Road Course. Putnam Park is near Cloverdale, exit 41 from I-70 west of Indianapolis. For Advanced level students: You'll get plenty of track time with enhanced passing rules, plus classroom activities tailored to advanced driving techniques and topics. Are you new to Driver Schools? The Driver School's mission is to teach advanced driving skills and habits in the controlled environment of a closed course and for everyone to have fun while doing it. You'll have an assigned instructor with you in your car for the whole weekend while you put into practice the advanced techniques you learn during the classroom sessions. We divide students into groups based on track driving experience, so if you're new to this you'll be sharing the experience with other novices. Although we hold the school on a closed track, this is not a race or any form of competitive or timed event. Safety is our primary concern. For the protection of all our participants, anything even resembling racing or unsafe behavior will be grounds for immediate exclusion. Who can attend? Students need to be 18 years or older, have a currently valid driver's license and be members of the BMW CCA (or immediate family of a member). If you have other friends that would like to participate, they'll need to sign up as members. What about the car? You'll be driving your own car. You don't have to drive a BMW—we have students in Hondas, Porsches, Infinitis, Corvettes and other kinds of cars. But we are the BMW Club, so of course we think that BMWs are best! And by the way, that includes Minis—that's what your chief Instructor has as his daily driver. We do not accept convertibles, including hard-top or retracting metal roof models. SUVs, trucks or vans aren't generally suited for this type of activity. How much does this cost, and what's included? There is a $399 student fee for Saturday and Sunday. (We also accept single day students for either day at a reduced fee.)
