HPDE at Autobahn Country Club, Joliet, IL Thurs 6/2/05

Come out and drive your car the way it was meant to be driven. Test your limits and your car in the safe, controlled environment of a race track and

acquire skills that will provide safer vehicle operation in all driving situations.

We call it 'Driver Education' - it's probably the most fun you will have with your car. Heck, it might be the most fun you can have with your pants on.

Our Driver Education events are casual and first-timers are welcomed! You will only go as fast as you are comfortable with.

Each run group will get plenty of track time! Each group will get four 20-minute sessions, run approximately on the half-hour. There are also two

20-minute instructor sessions, and we would encourage you to ride along with an instructor and pick up a few new tricks, regardless of your skill level!

The cost is $185 for this single-day event.

I'm so in. How about opening up the whole thing? Also, by the looks of your site, you're new. Can you give us some background on you guys?

Also, please PM me with your contact info. I'd like to call you about other things.

Thanks!

Christian

We've been involved in a bunch of the clubs and groups around here: PCA Chicago/Milwaukee, Windy City BMW, Badger Bimmers, Audi Club of Chicago, SpeedTrialUSA, Chicago Volkswagen Organization. All of our instructors instruct in at least one of these other groups, too. We've got a great group of instructors.
We've already run an event at Blackhawk this year, which was a blast!
Basically, after running with the Chicago car clubs for so long, we wanted to provide anyone, regardless of what kind of car they drive, a fun, family-friendly, anti-political venue to come and drive. So while PDE is just starting to run events on its own as an entity, all of us involved have been running events with other organizations for some time.
We are not affiliated with any of the above-mentioned groups. We exist on our own, independent of all of that.

Hey, lugnut, where you live? I'm on the west side, y0!, just west of the lake near west elementry. I already know of a few guys around here, one with a white FD, used to be a white vert, a blue s5 GXL and a silver s4 GXL, all in my general vacinity. I also know of a red vert, but don't know where it lives. I got the silver s5 GXL, just fyi, so where you at?

Oh, I'll ask a few buds who are instructors for midwest council and used to be SCCA instructors if they can, but no promises. Wish I could go, just don't got the money
