Patroon BMWCCA @ Watkins Glen Int’l

BMWCCA Patroon & New York — Longest Day @ WGI June 2011 BMW CCA — Patroon Chapter Monday Jun 13, 2011 Watkins Glen International, Watkins Glen, NY

I’m signed up and so are Jon, Jamie and Dan, and Neil — anyone else? What are everyone’s plans? I’ll be camping and trying to make it a short trip out to minimize the disruption with the job. More importantly, what run groups are people in these days with Patroon. I signed up experienced / advanced, and am hoping to be eligible for the afternoon open track by the end of the day.

Last chance full course Monticello with MoHud

On Friday Sept. 24th 2010 Mohawk Hudson Region is hosting a PDX (aka HPDE or High Performance Driving School) at the exclusive Monticello Motor Club in Monticello NY. Monticello is a beautiful facility with a challenging racetrack designed by Brain Redman about 2 hours south of Albany.

This will be the last year they rent the “full course” at the track. So it might be your last chance to take advantage of it’s 18 turns, 3.8 mile length without plunking down big bucks for a membership. Entry fee for students. $250 for SCCA members, $265 for non SCCA members.

This event is basically full by this point, and I count five MINIs registered, but you can always request to be added to a wait list. Additional information, rules, paperwork is available here. Online registration is over at MotorSportReg, and it’s listing 93 registered drivers at this moment (9/7).

Patroon BMW Monticello Full Course ’10

Patroon BMW visits Monticello for an HPDE August 30. Room in the advanced student run group still available! (EDIT 8/18: no chance now, try the MoHud event Sept. 24)

Patroon Chapter BMWCCA ventures to the new Monticello Motorsports Park for a Full day on the Full Course in association with the NY Chapter. We will be using the whole track which measures 4.1 miles, with 20 corners and three straights!

This is a BMWCCA Drivers School ( other makes welcome!) with in car and class room instruction.

Entry fee is $250 with more info on the event to follow! This is a Challenging course for all types of drivers and a short drive from the Capital District or the New York City area.

Word on the street is that this may be the last year that Monticello allows public organizations and non-members (of the race track) onto the full course, so get it while you can! Seriously!
