Dog Days Challenge at Autobahn

August 16 at Autobahn, Joliet, IL

The Chicago Alfa Romeo Owners Club invites you to participate in the 2010 Dog Days Challenge at Autobahn Circuit Joliet on Monday, August 16th. Come enjoy the natural setting on the challenging south course and have lots of motor sports fun on an extended weekend. Registration and tech inspection will begin at 7AM. We will be sending out the first practice group at 8:45AM The format will be open lapping by group in the morning and afternoon. Touring will be at noon and will run for approximately one hour. All lapping sessions will be timed using AMB transponders (included in the price). This allows us to provide many hours of track time for each participant. For safety reasons, no passing in corners. On track activities will wrap up at 5PM.

This year we're offering a $30 refund on your application for every lapping event participant you bring with their car. (this only includes participants that have never run with us before) If you don't plan on running in the event, but bring someone you will get free touring. So get the word out and help us make this event a success! We will have a special prize for those that run in all 3 events. (Of course we're talking about lapping sessions not touring).

Autobahn is a track designed to be safe as well as fun to drive, and somewhat forgiving of driver errors. Mike Besic has termed it a more "technical" track meaning that the corners have some complexity requiring better driver analysis to identify the best and fastest line through a corner. Located near Joliet, it is close to our membership base, so it is easily accessed from the Chicago area. With facilities roughly five years old, it is a new facility with a good track surface and interest for many in the Chicago area. Please mention our event to anyone you know who might be interested in Open Lapping or Touring. We welcome and enjoy seeing a diversity of cars on-track.

Free lunch included if registration and payment received by Aug 2nd.

Please contact Wayne Seely at (815) 331-0404 or Barb Carroll (815) 675-2309 weekdays for more information.
