The waiting list for student participants in this school is now open. If you wish to be placed on the waiting list, please complete the registration process and mail your check to the Registrar.

Our annual June Club Race/Driver School to benefit the Westlake School will again be held at our home track at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ. The event will be held on Thunderbolt Raceway, which is a 14 turn, 2.25 mile road course designed by the owners of VIR with help from the legendary Carroll Shelby. Since 2008 a number of professional racing series have held events at Thunderbolt Raceway. In 2010, professional series including Grand-Am Rolex, ARCA, Formula Atlantic and AMA Pro Superbike will use Thunderbolt. This is a perfect spectator event given the proximity of the track to the majority of our members, the excitement of Club Racing and the joy of the kids from the Westlake School who come as our guests. Take a personal day and come out to the track!
This event is the first of two events we are co-marketing with the DelVal Chapter this year. Both are combined Club Race/Driver Schools and both will be held at New Jersey Motorsports Park. The second event will be a 3-day weekend event in August at the Lightning Circuit. NJ Chapter will manage registration for the Thunderbolt event while DelVal will be responsible for the August event.
We anticipate a full school for this event based on our success last year. However, because this is a 2-day event, we will only have two student run groups. It is likely that one of the groups will be for Advanced students with the second group being Beginner/ Intermediate. The final determination of how to allocate students between the groups will be made by mid-MAY based upon both registrations and payments received. To accommodate the maximum number of students possible, there may be a greater range of driving skills than usual in each group. If you send a payment and we cannot accommodate you, you will receive a full refund (i.e., a cancellation fee will not be assessed). As always, acceptance preference is based upon the date your payment is received by the registrar. REGISTER EARLY TO SECURE YOUR PLACE IN THE SCHOOL! We will have a Monday evening banquet following on the well-received banquet held last year and in keeping with our tradition of a track-side dinner at summer schools.
Please update your non-NJ Chapter Driving History in your Profile!
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
• NJ BMW CCA does not accept open-top vehicles, convertibles of any kind (soft or hard top) nor SUV/SAVs for on-track events.
• ALL AFTER-MARKET GLASS TINTING MUST BE PRE-APPROVED BY THE CHIEF OF TECH. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A FAILED TECH INSPECTION AND FORFEITURE OF THE REGISTRATION FEE
