BMWCCA PSR HPDE @ PACIFIC May 8 2020
BMW CCA - Puget Sound Chapter
Greetings Drivers and Instructors,
Yes it has been a long winter . . . and hopefully you have all adapted to our new reality that includes working from home and social distancing. But from a "glass half full" perspective, I'm looking ahead to the opportunity to get a hall pass for our HPDE solo event on May 8. The details:
When - May 8, 2020
Where - Pacific Raceway
Who - Instructors, A & B drivers and C drivers approved by the DEC and CDI
What - Three run groups, solo only, no in-car instruction or passengers
How - registering will get you wait listed, all drivers will be charged $250 for the event, the event will be limited to 49 drivers unless the state restrictions are loosened. There will be no CCC.
As of this writing, we are working with the track caterer to provide box lunches to make sure we keep lines down and avoid too many drivers grouping together. You are encouraged to bring your own snacks and water. It is unlikely we will have tents available so plan accordingly with hats and sunscreen.
We regret there are limitations on participation but we will do our best to put on this event while operating under parameters that keep everyone safe both on and off the track. No guests allowed.
All drivers will be required to provide a tech sheet from a reputable service shop that confirms your car is safe for this event.
This is your chance to ease back into the sport after the off-season and reconnect (from 6+ feet) with your track friends. Registration is open at MSR.
