I can only speak for Homestead. But you can do a full track day in your car for that money (or less). Personally, don't think it is worth it. It used to be promotional, hence free...

Will they have run groups based on experience?
I went last year at Thermal and the people that knew how to drive stuck together and it was fun. The instructor has the lead with 3-4 cars following and if the person behind the instructor (or any car in between) can't keep up then the instructor slows down. Would be frustrating if all your run groups couldn't drive. |

Having said that I am sure there will be plenty of people willing to pay for it, so who ever had the idea at BMW of charging for them will get a pad in the back for saving the company some money. Personally, I think that money is better spent on a track day (yes there might be other costs associated with a track day, but from my experience those are relatively marginal on one day). |

There's 12 more program dates and two more tracks for 2017 versus 2016 - the $250 helps make that to happen

Don't they realize that people in WA who own BMWs don't live anywhere near Shelton, WA? We are all in the Seattle area.

The activities would be ok for anyone who's never been on the track, I did it last year at homestead and unfortunately lots of characters also came out that day : If you're a track rat this is not for you.

I just did the M control clinic day for 750$. Itnis worth it b/c u get lots of driving for that price and lots of training in their M car. In perspective Skip Barber half day school in mazda/open wheel car is 550$ and You get way less driving there.

Snapped up a ticket for Thermal in late September yesterday.
Way cheaper than M School at the same venue. ($250 vs. $1550 1-day M or $4000 2-day.)

I'm guessing this is similar to what is offered at BMW Genius trainings? If it is, it is well worth it. Came back from my trip two weeks ago. Although it was complimentary, I would pay $250 to do it once more.
