Hmm. I've looked in the auto-x reg section, but nothing yet. Well, I'll just wait 'till June. ;)

They are located in the same area that you sign up for the autox events. Though they won't have their registrations open until a month or two before the event, similar to how the autox registrations open up.

Steve!
Where would I find the registration for these schools?
Under regular "Events" listings? Here on the forum?

Thanks a bunch.

No worries. The registrar will e-mail you when you have to pay for the autocross.

Rather than start a new thread, I wanted to ask here.

I have registered and by the list on the website it seems that I have been accepted for the April 27 Event, but I have yet to get an email about payment and I don't want to keep you guys waiting for that. Have I just missed the email or has no one received on yet? This will be my first event so I'm not sure what to expect in paying. THANKS!

The Test & Tune schools are scheduled for 7/13 & 8/9.

These schools sell out in less than 48 hours! So make note of when registration opens.

You can get 40+ runs in with several instructors during the day on 2 different courses. I usually have 15-20 instuctors available for each event. I know of no better vaule on the runways then one of our T&T schools.

Thanks for the responses guys, and for pointing out the test-n-tunes, I had missed that on the schedule.

I would add that the Test and Tune days have tons of seat time, and are the best bang for the buck for learning.

It's typically 8 runs per day. Occasionally 7 runs if there's a timing equipment problem or if there's miserable weather.

Perfect amount of seat time as well as tons of really good instructors at your hand.

Yes - most events fill up pretty fast and we were close to capacity at the last few events. We strive for 8 runs on a 70+ second course.

New guy here, to this forum as well as BMWCCA. Am hoping to run you a/x series @ Devens this year and had a couple questions:

1. Are the number of entrants limited? (I read the webpage and know that pre-reg is req'd)
2. Typically, how many runs are there?

Thanks,
Tom
