GGC BMW CCA

Join us at Thunderhill Raceway Park in Willows for a weekend of fun and learning.

The focus of our driving school is on safety and education; every student is assigned an instructor until they are signed off at the event. Our dedicated team of experienced instructors will help you learn at a comfortable and enjoyable pace.

Note: Attendance at a GGC Car Control Clinic is strongly recommended for first-timers planning to attend any of our driving schools who do not have previous high-performance driving experience. Our next Car Control Clinic is scheduled for October 20. More details can be found on the GGC Calendar: http://www.ggcbmwcca.org/calendar/icalrepeat.detail/2012/10/20/40/-/car-control-clinic

Convertibles and T-top cars must have 5-point/6-point belts and arm restraints, as well as an approved roll bar installed. Factory "rollover protection" for a soft top (i.e. BMW Z3 and Z4, Porsche Boxster) is not sufficient for the school.  Convertibles with hard tops and/or folding hard tops, are NOT ALLOWED. 

Examples of cars not allowed include: Firebirds and Camaros with T-tops or convertibles; any Corvette other than the Z06 coupe; Porsche convertibles and Targas. The Lotus Elise, while a targa-style car, IS ALLOWED due to its structural design only if the hard roof panel is in place (the soft roof panel is not sufficient). It is essential that you contact us to discuss these issues well in advance if you plan to bring a convertible or T-top car.  We will not give refunds if you sign up with an ineligible car.

Please read the Event Overview and Event Preparation documents below, and bring your completed and signed Tech Inspection form with you to registration. Tech Inspections are not offered at the track. You may use our list of Dealers or Independent Service Shops to find a location in your area for tech inspections.
