Calabogie!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 2006 will see the opening of a new race track:*Calabogie*at*5 km long and 20 corners. Located 45 minutes outside Ottawa, Ontario, the track joins Mosport and Mont Tremblant in the excellent tradition of challenging Canadian race tracks.*
The*BMW Car Club of Ottawa will be hosting one of the first Advanced Driving School at Calabogie 21-22 October 2006 and registration is now open*
on-line*via karelo. In addition, as an added incentive, if you attend this driving school,* you will be credited with a discount of $50 for our next school in 2007 at Calabogie. That's a 10% discount. Instructors interested in participating should reply directly to me.*
We expect to be able to offer 3 hours of track time each day along with in-class instruction and a dedicated in-car instructor. The school will follow the usual high standard of the BMW Club Canada format and rules. This is not a race school or a lapping day, it is an advanced driving school.
Given the late start to the season with Calabogie opening in September and the limited notice, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in getting the word out to as many people as possible.
In addition to the great personalized instruction from the pool of talented instructors, this event is tax deductible (Canadian students only). Read your auto insurance policy carefully for exclusions due to "track events". This is not a race or timed event. In-car cameras and timing devices are prohibited and will be removed.
Additional details will be forthcoming. However some basic information:
