Street Survival - Advanced Driving Safety for Teens
2019-05-18 08:00 - 17:00, 2018-09-15 04:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | MA
It’s more than driving – it’s about living!
The primary emphasis of Tire Rack Street Survival is a “hands-on” driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them.
The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seat-belts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seat-belts, too!

Autocross Series
2018-11-03 03:00 - 13:00, 2018-10-21 03:00 - 13:00, 2018-09-09 03:00 - 13:00, 2018-08-05 03:00 - 13:00
The 2018 Autocross Series is open to Boston Chapter BMW CCA members. If you are not a member of the Boston Chapter BMW CCA, you may join for only $48 per year. If you are a BMW CCA member, you may add the Boston Chapter to your current membership.
Please be sure to read the rules prior to attending an event.
Registration
The charge for each Autocross event is $50.You must register for each event separately. After you are accepted for the event, you will be sent an Acceptance email, which will also contain payment details. The Boston Chapter will be using PayPal to accept payment for this event. Payment for each event is due as soon as the PayPal request is received. Failure to pay within a reasonable timeframe will result in your registration cancellation so waitlisted drivers would be given an opportunity to participate. If you have to cancel an event, please give us as much notice as possible so waitlisted drivers can have an opportunity to participate.There will be no refunds under any circumstances.

For more information, please see Eligibility and Registration.
Event Management
We will have a new course for every event. Mandatory Drivers’ meeting starts ~ 8:00 am. Miss the Driver’s meeting, and you cannot run.
Two run groups will again be the format for 2018. We will have a half-hour lunch break and you will have the option to order (cash only) a sub for $8 and a soda or water for $1 the morning of the event.
Tech Inspections
All competitors will need to pass a Tech Inspection. However, every driver will have a choice: New or casual competitors in either BMWs or other makes will be able to tech as usual. The morning of EACH event get into the Tech line and have your car teched. Or, for more serious competitors there is a process which will lead to an Annual Tech sticker.
If a BMW driver wishes to qualify for the season’s championship within their respective classes, they will need to complete and turn in an Inspection and Modifications Form (IMF). The IMF will need to be completed and brought to the first event. The IMF includes a full disclosure of modifications, a calculation of points, and intended autocross class.
Autocross staff will give the car a tech inspection, successful completion of which will result in a 2018 Tech Sticker. After you have your AnnualTech Sticker, no further tech inspection will be needed for the season (we reserve the right to conduct random inspections). The only exception will be cars running R-compound tires which will require a wheel bearing check each event.
Non-BMW drivers may also have their cars teched once and receive an Annual Tech Inspection sticker. No IMF form is required for non-BMWs.
Meanwhile, if you’re a casual autocrosser, perhaps a first timer who just wants to come out and have a bit of fun and try the sport, simply find your model and year on the “Model Grid”, fill in the IMF, register and show up. We’ll perform a safety inspection and you’ll be ready to go.
Click here to get the Model Grid.
Schedule
The 2018 schedule includes eight regular season events, two Novice Autocross School, and a 2-day Evolution Autocross School (in partnership with NER SCCA) and a Test and Tune. You will have to get points in at least 4 regular season events to qualify for a trophy.

2018 90-Minute Karting Enduro
2018-10-27 09:30 - 12:30
Do you have what it takes to run a 90-minute kart race? Our third outdoor karting event of the season will be a team endurance event. Fifteen teams of 3 or 4 drivers will compete for outdoor bragging rights. There will be 7 mandatory pit stops, but their timing and the scheduling of driver changes is determined by each team. The objective is to run fast, run clean, and not get hung up in pit lane for too long.
Everything is bigger and faster at the X1 Outdoors track in East Bridgewater, MA. We will be running our event on the Grand Prix Circuit which is nearly 1 mile long. The karts are also more powerful and can reach speeds in excess of 50 mph. While this may not seem fast in the luxurious confines of your “Ultimate Driving Machine”, sitting a couple of inches from the ground with no suspension, you’ll definitely become one with the kart – and those corners will come up on you really fast!
This is real wheel-to-wheel racing without the expense of maintaining your own club race car, and the g-forces exceed anything you’ll experience at a driving school or autocross. These open-wheel racing karts offer a great way to learn about car control. You can see exactly where the wheels are pointed, and then compare their location with what direction the kart actually ends up going. Then, your next time around the track, you can alter your line and see how the kart responds to your new inputs.
Best of all, you need only arrive and drive – be 18 years old and have a valid drivers license You can certainly bring your own full-face helmet or driving suit if you own them, but if you don’t, X1 Outdoors provides all the necessary equipment. For safety sake, be sure to wear closed-toe shoes.
So plan to join the fun this Summer and Fall on the same track that professional kart racers drive in their shifter karts at speeds exceeding 100 mph. If you wish to learn more about the X1 Outdoors facility, what they like to call the “gold standard of kart racing venues”, go to their website at X1outdoors.com.

You may register either individually or as a team. If you register individually, you will be placed on a team with 3 other registrants. If you register as a “team captain”, you will be asked to specify the 2 or 3 other members of your team.
Here are the details:
· The event will be held at X1 Outdoors in East Bridgewater, MA and will run on their Grand Prix Circuit. For more information about the facility (including directions), visit their website at X1outdoors.com.
· Arrive promptly at 1:30 p.m. to sign waivers, weigh in, hear the safety briefing, and have your team assigned a weight for the race.
· Since we are only guaranteed 15 teams, sign up early to ensure you secure a place on the starting grid.
· You may register for $80 as an individual and be assigned to a 4-driver team, or register as a “team captain” for $300 and specify the 2 or 3 other drivers on your team.
· Practice will begin at 2:30 p.m., and the race itself will commence at approximately 3:00 p.m., with the winner being the team that completes the most laps in 90 minutes.
· Should we have severe weather in the morning, please call 508-350-1000 to confirm that the event will still take place. If Mother Nature forces us to cancel, we will re-schedule later this summer, and anyone unable to make the new date will receive a full refund.
· CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY: Other than if we are forced to cancel the event due to severe weather, in order to receive a refund of your entry fee, you must cancel ten days prior to the event AND we must find another driver to take your spot in the event. All cancellations requiring a refund will be charged a $10 processing fee regardless of when they are received.

We ask that if you register for this event, that you prepare both yourself and your car for a rigorous work out. Please contact the registrar if you have questions on experience…
The setting is the European-style resort village of Mont Tremblant nestled in the splendor of the Laurentian Mountains; Mont Tremblant is located just 90 miles northwest of Montréal.
This is the perfect vacation getaway for the entire family. The driving enthusiasts’ have the world class racetrack and everyone else has a world class resort all within a radius of only 2 miles! Come early, stay late, and bring your friends… you can easily spend a week without getting bored. The area features fine restaurants, shopping, and over 100 miles of protected trails for biking, skateboarding, and rollerblading. There are two great golf courses, an aquatics center and spa, and a beautiful lake with a large beach. There are activities for the entire family.
The Track – This village is only 10 minutes away from the world class Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant. Built in 1964 in the shadow of the majestic Mont-Tremblant, the picturesque and twisty 15-corner 2.65-mile track was completely rebuilt and upgraded in 2001. It is two meters wider all around with extensive runoff areas everywhere. Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant has been upgraded to meet FIA vintage Formula racing safety standards. If you loved the track before, you won’t believe it now!
Situated in one of the most gorgeous settings in the world for a race track, the layout is a classic, as it combines the natural topography of the site with elevation changes from the start/finish line, to corner 8 and back again. The track is bordered by Lake Moore and Devil River (La Diable).
We are subjected to the imposed sound limit of 92db and the 30 car limit per session for this event.
