5erWest:  June 5th, 10AM - Gladstone, Oregon
It's finally time!  5erWest Weekend is upon us and Northwest BMW Club is gearing up to host over 100 registered cars in Gladstone, Oregon.  There are caravan's scheduled from all over the West Coast.

Evolution School Registration:  June 5th
For those of you not attending 5erWest I highly recommend signing up for the Evolution Driving School.  The cost is $225 (cheapest you will ever see for this type of school) and will have the option of Phase 2 (if you have taken Phase 1) or Phase 1 if you have never done any of their schools.  I cannot stress enough how important this school was for me personally last year.  My driving improved so much that I was knocking SECONDS off of my runs.  This school is suitable for complete novice's and hardened season veterans. 

As a side note, those of you attending this event will also receive the next race day (Sunday the 6th) completely free.

Update: There might be room available in the classes for anyone who still hasn't signed up so don't hesitate to register!
