That's cool!

I think a lot of people find it weird there's a place called the Cow Palace in San Francisco... and it hosts the Grand National Livestock, Horse and Rodeo show every year for 70 years. Not really something you'd associate with San Francisco.

I forgot if the previous UDE credit could have been combined with fleet discount?

How much does this cost? I'm right by Santa Anita Park.

My experience last year was that the fleet discount voids everything. No BMW drive credits, no BMWCCA rebate. Only manufacturer's discounts and rebates and dealership discounts.

What does the autocross track look like and how fast can you drive?
As fast as you can control the car; the instructors really egg you on the drive it hard. The course is tight so you won't get serious speed but is definitely a hoot to use their gas, tires, and cars to beat on.

When I did it, it was free. There were special event within the event that cost money, like taking a driving class and then driving an M3 or M4 or M6. But, the regular cars, including M-sports (wink), were free.

I'd register and and get the information for this year. Hope you go. Have fun.

Any chance the M CCC will have an M2?

I'm signed up for it either way. Also doing my first BMWCCA HPDE this weekend.
Excellent! Maybe you'll keep that car after all.

It'a definitely geared for the casual enthusiast.

I'm already signed up for the updates on the Dallas event. Thanks to the Dfw area dealers for bringing it to the area
I too did sign up for notifications. Is this event worth the drive from Houston? I have autocross and done a track event. I am wondering if it is like the Mini Cooper event where you get like 3 small circuits and have other family activities as well?
Yep. It's similar.

They did when I went in Dallas last year. $1000.00 I think

I looked it up, what a ghetto looking facility.

I bet 95% of Warriors fans didn't know they used to play there, it's cause 95% of Warriors fans didn't exist until 2012.

I'm pretty sure you are just joking and poking fun at Bay Area fans for whatever reason, but your comments are not true at all. Let's get a bit crazy here and confuse ourselves with the facts.

Here are the last 25 years of Warrior attendance. Actually, their best season for attendance was 2007, well before your silly comment that fans didn't exist until 2012. While there are teams the draw more fans to games, these numbers are quite respectable. In many of those years, their attendance has been constrained by the size of the facility. So much for fans not existing.

^Chill bro I'm just trolling. I'm very well aware of their attendance throughout the years, but there's no denying that they have a ton of bandwagons. We can agree that we both want to see Bron Bron and his stans cry in June.

Quit picking on Lebron James. He is undoubtedly the GOAT. Next you are going to be telling us that Jordan is better than James. I get tired of hearing about Michael Jordan being GOAT, so please don't respond and try to tell us its true. The Bulls were lucky in the 90s with all the expansion teams. Titles were easy. Jordan would not have been anything without Pippin and Rodman. Jordan was a ball thief who took 80 shots a game and had no concept of team. He would never make it in today's league. West was better. Chamberlain was better. Magic was better. Russell was better. Jordan was completely overrated. He got an A+ in branding himself. That's the truth. LeBron James is 10 times the player Jordan was. That's just how it is.

Hahaha I can't tell if this is trolling or not. I've noticed lately that Bronsexuals are trying to tear down Jordan to make Lebron the GOAT, which he will never be. You're all delusional and possibly Schizophrenics hearing Leflop's voice in your heads. You need to see a Psychiatrist bro.
