Windy City BMW Driving School
WRAPUP: Fantastic weather made for a great weekend at the track. The Windy City BMW club did an excellent job with organization, attention to details, safety, and making sure everyone had a good time. There were 5 or 6 MINIs participating and they are hoping for more in the future. This is a wonderful way to learn what you and your car can really do in a safe and controlled environment.
