Glacier Lakes Chapter

Now that Spring has decided to show its face in Minnesota, we are looking forward to a great weekend at Brainerd International Raceway for our 2013 HPDE Driving School.

If this is your first driving event we know you may be feeling a bit nervous. But don’t worry, safety is our #1 concern and you will be paired with a seasoned instructor who will help you learn more about your car and yourself over the two day event.

For those who have driven at BIR in the past, you will be challenged this time by a track that has been re-graded and resurfaced since last year so, basically, you will be running on a track that is new to you. 

Remember, IT IS NOT TOO LATE to sign up for this weekend's event, see our event page for all the details if you are interested!

Audi Club Glacier Lakes is pleased to announce that Audi Minneapolis and Audi St Paul are offering complimentary Tech Inspections for the High Speed Driving Event (HPDE) being held May 18-19.  Please call the Minneapolis or St Paul Audi Service departments to schedule a tech inspection.  Their technicians will go through the safety checklist to make sure your Audi is ready for the track.   If enhancing performance is on your mind remember club members get a 10% discount on parts.  Both part departments carry good selection of performance parts including Stasis parts which may not void your warranty.    Our goal is to have a fun, safe and trouble free weekend, and we thank our Platinum Sponsors Audi Minneapolis and Audi St Paul for making this generous offer for club members.

In addition to the dealers, the following sponsors will also be providing tech inspections prior to the event with an appointment. Please check with these sponsors for details:

If you didn't know, the Glacier Lakes Chapter is the founding chapter of the ACNA and is 29 years old this year!

To kick off the celebration and for those who have not already signed up for our HPDE event at Brainerd International Raceway coming up in just TWO weeks, we will be offering a $29 discount lasting for 2 days beginning on Friday May 3rd at 11:29 PM and ending on Sunday May 5th…

The ACGL board conferenced this morning and agreed that it would be wise for us to cancel our Teen Clinic this Sunday. The latest snowfall, even if plowed off the course, plus the incoming rain will require our parents and other volunteers to stand on the road surface while policing cones and that is simply not safe given the dynamics we are putting the students and their vehicles through. Also, the snow will negate our ability to conduct our important off-road exercises.

If you are currently signed up for this event, you can email events@audiclubglacierlakes.org and ask to be moved to one of the other dates we have coming up next month or later in the Summer.

We are sorry for this inconvenience, but safety is our biggest concern.

Sincerely,
Ron Woods
