Spring Drive and Murder Mystery
When: Saturday April 18
Description: Drive starts in the morning in Marion; after a few hours scenic excursion and a stop at the Field of Dreams, arrive at the Mont Rest B&B on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River in Bellevue. There we will enjoy an entertaining evening of becoming a character in an intriguing Agatha Christie-type plot and solve a spine-tingling 'who-done-it'. Your evening begins at 5:30 and ends at approximately 9:30. Come dressed casually because they will costume you from head to toe.
While the game is afoot, a delicious gourmet meal will be served with drinks and dessert. After the murder is solved and the proper person is carted off to jail, you will be able to sleep in one of the beautifully furnished rooms. Upon waking you will sit down to a fabulous breakfast before departing for home.
Reservations are needed for the Murder Mystery Event and room at the Mont Rest no later than Jan. 31. Call the Mont Rest at 563-872-4220 or book online. Cost for the B&B room, Murder Mystery package, and meals is approx. $350 plus tax per couple.
Participants are also welcome to join in the drive on Saturday, and to stay overnight in your choice of hotel or head home Saturday night without participating in the Murder Mystery.

The primary emphasis of the Tire Rack Street Survival® is a “hands-on” driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seatbelts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seatbelts, too.
It’s about more than driving – it’s about LIVING!

Organizer: BMW CCA Heartland Chapter
Sanctioned/Sponsored by: Chicane Motorsports
Location: Hedge Hollow Raceway
BMW CCA driving schools are designed to teach drivers how to safely improve their driving abilities and explore their cars’ capabilities. Students, using their own cars, get one-on-one instruction from experienced instructors. Our overriding emphasis is on safety, and safely learning how to control the car in emergency and higher performance conditions. The school is conducted on a paved, closed, and controlled course to minimize risk to persons and equipment. HPDE instruction is not a racing school, practice or preparation for racing, and it is not a timed, competitive event or speed contest. Even though we try to minimize risk, there is an inherent risk of damage to your car and injury to yourself. Please be certain that you are willing to accept this risk before registering for the school.
