Hey everyone!
If any of you are interested, I set up a track day for the BMW owners of Orange County at the BMW Performance Track in Palm Springs, CA. The cars, gas, tires, brakes, etc. are provided by BMW. YOU ARE NOT TRACKING YOUR OWN CAR, CARS WILL BE PROVIDED.

It is a half-day event (8am-12pm) with lunch provided. Date is Sunday, December 18th, 2022. Cost is $355/person. PM me for payment options. Feel free to bring guests, spectators are free, but if your guest is planning on driving, it is an additional $355/person.

Track Info:
- 3 hrs of performance driving (I believe Z4 M40i, M2 Competition, X5M, etc.), autocross (2022 M240i Coupe), drag race (I believe X3M, M550i, M850i), and big track with the G80 M3 Competition
- Event is in their cars, not your own! No need to worry about your car, brakes, tires, or gas.
- If it's your first time on track or want to learn car control, this is the best way to start. Also a great networking opportunity with like-minded BMW enthusiasts in Southern California!

$355 is a great deal for this event. I worked out a special price with BMW for our group, smaller groups are usually $500/person, individuals are $1k (although for a full day), and I believe Groupon sometimes has deals for $300/person, but that doesn’t include laps on the actual track (which is the best part).

This is legit! When does everything need to be paid? I’m going to see if my lady is interested in doing this as well.

Let's go! Brian told me payment deadline is November 18th or when all 48 spots fill up.

Man, I'd love to bring my pops to this as his birthday is around then. However, he's not 100% fluent in English so there's terms that he may not understand if used.

Are there people in the car that will tell him what to do ? Or are there instructions prior to getting in the car, which in that case I can translate .

Would love to have you guys join us! I think a couple attendees' birthdays are around that time, so people have been buying spots for them as well!

My dad is the same way, when we went in August, he had a great time and I was able to translate when needed. The instructors won't be in the cars, they communicate through walkie-talkies. They will also run us through the course before each event. Also, there are usually two people per car, so if you hop in the same car as him, you can help translate if the instructor tries to correct him over the walkie talkie!
