Blackhawk Driver’s School

Monday, August 19, 2024 Join the Badger Bimmers for a Drivers’ Education Day at Blackhawk Farms Raceway. All students and instructors get four 25 minute on-track sessions. If you have questions about the event email David Burman (DEC@BadgerBimmers.org). Please read the requirements for the event before registering. Open top cars (i.e., convertibles with soft OR hard tops) are not allowed without a roll bar or roll cage that passes the “broomstick test”. Targa-style cars must have removable roof panels installed. Cars with factory folding hard tops are not considered open top cars and are welcome. If the top is removable from the car, it is considered an open top car and is subject to the applicable restrictions. If you have any questions regarding the eligibility of your car, please email David Burman at dec@badgerbimmers.org BEFORE registering for the event. All participants at our DE events must be members of BMW CCA. If you are new to driving events, please download this document and read through it for helpful hints and tips for preparing yourself before you get to be track. www.hpde-1st-timer.com Blackhawk Farms is a 1.95 mile, 7 turn private circuit racetrack located in South Beloit, Illinois on 216 acres. The track is on the border between Wisconsin and Illinois, within 90 miles of both Milwaukee and Chicago. During the off-season Blackhawk is making significant improvements to both the track and the facilities. Visit the Blackhawk web site to see pictures of the improvements. Many automobile insurance policies now exclude coverage for events that take place on a race track. The only way to know if your policy still covers driving schools is to read your policy. If you find that your policy does not cover our driving schools you can purchase event insurance from Lockton Affinity Motorsports. BMW CCA members get a discount on the purchase of both single and multiple event driving school insurance. Be sure to sign up before we fill up!!!
