July Summit Point Main - Driver School & Club Race

Saturday, Jul 11 — Sunday, Jul 12, 2026

Geoff Atkinson Memorial Driver School and Club Race: Please come join us for the Thirteenth Annual Geoff Atkinson Memorial Driver School and Club Race. We are planning a special celebration of our friend Geoff Atkinson - please come out and make this an event to remember. Our annual combined Driver School and Club race at Summit Point Raceway has become the NJ Chapter’s second tradition (behind our June race/school). Summit Point Raceway is in the rolling hills of the northeast corner of West Virginia near Harper’s Ferry. While West Virginia sounds like a long drive, for many NJ members it is, in fact, not any further driving time than to Palmer or Watkins Glen. The School and the Club Race divide track time between student run groups in the School and Race run groups. So, when you’re not on the track or in the classroom, you can take time to watch the racing. We may run 3 student groups for this event depending on racer participation. Be sure to register early to lock-in your place in the school! Please note also that we will allow open face helmets (Snell 2020 or newer) for this event.

About Us

BMW Car Club of America – New Jersey Chapter

Founded in 1970, the New Jersey Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America is one of the largest and most active chapters in the nation, proudly representing more than 3,000 members across New Jersey and the surrounding region. Our mission is simple: create exceptional experiences for BMW enthusiasts and build a community where passion, learning, and camaraderie thrive.

A Community Built Around Enthusiasm

Our members come from all walks of life, but we share two things: a love for driving and a love for connecting with others who feel the same way. Whether you’re new to BMW ownership or a lifelong enthusiast, you’ll find a welcoming group ready to share knowledge, stories, and the joy of these incredible cars.

Events That Bring Us Together

We host a wide range of activities throughout the year, including:

  • Monthly Member Meetings featuring technical presentations, demonstrations, and guest experts
  • Social Events that are family‑friendly, relaxed, and perfect for meeting fellow enthusiasts
  • Cars & Coffee Gatherings that draw an impressive mix of classic icons and modern M cars

These events are the heartbeat of our chapter—and our photo galleries capture just how vibrant and diverse our community truly is.

Driving, Learning, Skill‑Building & Competition

As a car club, we place a strong emphasis on safe, responsible, and skilled driving. Our behind‑the‑wheel programs offer members the chance to learn, grow, and experience their cars in a controlled environment:

  • Tire Rack Street Survival for teen drivers
  • Autocross events for honing precision and car control
  • High‑Performance Driver Schools at premier racetracks
  • BMW CCA Club Racing

Whether you’re looking to improve your everyday driving or explore the limits of your BMW, we have a program for you.

Technical Knowledge and Resources

BMW owners love to tinker—and our chapter is a goldmine of expertise. With decades of collective experience, our members are always willing to help with maintenance tips, modification advice, and troubleshooting. We also maintain a technical library and a shared toolbox to support your projects.

Driven by Members, For Members

The New Jersey Chapter is entirely volunteer‑run, and our direction is shaped by the interests and ideas of our membership. If there’s an activity you’d like to see or a service you think would benefit the community, we encourage you to speak up. This club exists for you.

Join Us

Come to an event, meet fellow enthusiasts, and experience what makes this chapter special. We’re confident you’ll make new friends, discover new passions, and deepen your appreciation for the Ultimate Driving Machine. Consider paid membership for greater benefits!
