2011 KC BMW CLUB ADULT CAR CONTROL CLINIC
June 25th, 2011. REGISTRATION open and required.
No experience required; all makes welcome! Convertibles too!
Last year there were over 10 million car accidents that resulted in 48,000 fatalities. For years, the KC BMW Club has held a teen driving class in order to reduce the number of teens killed in car accidents. Last year, the club started to teach a similar driving class geared toward adults with the same goal of producing better drivers. This year, we are holding our car control event on June 25th at Metropolitan Community College, Blue River Campus. This clinic is one of the best driving events in the Midwest without having to drive your car on the track. The driving experience is also very affordable. Similar single day events can cost $1,000 (not including travel expenses). Eight hours of hands-on driving instruction from the KC BMW Club will cost you only $90 - which includes lunch!
The objective of the school is to make you a safer and more confident driver. The objective of the class is to share our knoweldge of driving at a level not readily available to the masses. After drivers' education in school, most of our learning comes only from our daily driving. This driving class gives the student the ability to take their learning further than they ever thought possible - at a facility that provides a safe and controlled environment to learn. Improving real-world driving is our goal and creating better drivers is the key. You will learn the basics of car control by participating in slalom, skid pad, and emergency avoidance exercises. These exercises will better prepare you for driving the streets of KC and avoiding an accident.
The class is not a race car driver's school; however, you will learn the limits of your car and driving abilities in a safe and controlled environment. This even is staffed with a group of instructors with background in instructing and high performance driving. The club is very fortunate to have a consistent, dedicated group of instructors that donate their time to make these events a huge success.
