Open House/Getting to the Track talk.....

This is open to the public, put on by Orr Autosports for the North Star BMW club (but there are folks with other cars in the club)

Orr Autosport will host a BMW Technical Seminar at 9:00AM on Saturday, March 12th for the North Star Chapter BMW CCA. The Session will run about 90 minutes; snacks & coffee will be provided. Doors open at 9:00AM and the Tech Talk starts at 10:00 Sharp.

This year Chris Orr will be covering a range of topics of interest to BMW track drivers, race car drivers, or those who aspire. In addition to prepared subjects, Chris and staff will invite questions from all. A tech session at Orr Autosport is a great way to be informed on your vehicle and using it at a driving event. As always, a fine selection of BMW street, track and full race cars will be available for viewing. Spring is almost here, so let's fire it up, gather in groups and discuss the upcoming driving season!
