Sorry for the n00b question, but I'm a bit confused (not something new) and I figured with all of the people I know getting licensed this year, this could be helpful.

I recently recieved my BMWCCA rookie license with all of the goodies, minus logbook. I guess this year you aren't issued a logbook until your first event. In the past, a logbook was issued with a license and I assume you could get your car pre-teched.

It seems silly to me to wait 5 months until my first events at Beaverun & Nelson Ledges to get an annual inspection. Especially if something is wrong and I could take care of it now when I have ample time.

I did speak with Fran today and she suggested that I email Jack Money (National Tech Steward) and request a logbook so I can try an get the car pre-teched. Assuming I am able to get a logbook early, what exactly is the process? Is there a list of authorized tech inspectors anywhere (Western PA, Eastern OH)? Even if I am not able to get a logbook, I still think I would like to get someone to look at the car in the next couple months to make sure I don't have any issues that need to be resolved. Would it be possible to just get the annual inspection done somewhere without a logbook?

I'm sure Jack Money will be able to clear up most of these questions once I hear back from him, but I figured maybe some of you out there may be able to help.

And to prove I read the rules:

ANNUAL TECH - All racecars must complete a comprehensive annual
inspection prior to participation in any Club Racing event within the current
calendar year. Before the annual tech inspection is performed, the car owner
must complete the Annual Tech Inspection form and validate it with his
signature. The Inspection form, logbook, driver safety gear, and car are then
presented to an authorized Club Racing tech inspector either by prior
appointment outside, or as early as possible at an event. Following
successful completion of the inspection, the form will be signed by the
inspector and attached to the logbook. The logbook is then presented to the
Tech Steward at each event for the remainder of that calendar year.

I did annual tech and event tech at my first race. Just got there early and was first in line.

Sorry, no information... but when are you running at BeaveRun? I live about 10 minutes away during the summer and would be happy to come root you on!

Craig-

I got a logbook with all my stuff. Maybe there are some more changes going on.

Beaverun is July 8-9th. Just look for the red M3 at the back of the pack.

If you're that close, you should get out to some of their Fun Days. Pretty well run open track day with instructers. The schedule isn't up yet, though.

Fran said they make the change after the first of the year.

Fun Run? Do you mean Flat Out Fridays? I make it out so some of them... last summer I was pretty busy however.

Yep, the Flat out Fridays (or whatever day they fall on). Not sure when they will get around to posting the schedule for this year.

Signed up for the one on the 19th (Good price, too)... have you ever ran a Funday at Nelson ledges? How's the comparison... I've been thinking of broadening my horizons and trying out another track. Suggestions?
