Track events too expensive and too rare compared to competition. Few events in my area (norcal). I did sign up twice for them just because I wanted to see what it is like, and they were cancelled twice. Autocrosses don't have enough drive time.


AutoX, Car control clinic.


Open up events to non-members for at least one or two events so that they are enticed to become members. Then charge the fee.

+1. My answers are pretty much the same. I think BMWCCA is great for the new driver trying to get their feet wet, but that's about it.

In addition to very few track events, they will still stick you in the beginner group because you've only done 1-2 track days with BMWCCA (and they only hold 1-2 events a year). I did 20 events (through other venues) in between 2 BMWCCA events, but those apparently don't count. Great people, but definitely tailored for that guy who bought his first BMW and has no real driving experience.
