Glacier Lakes Chapter

See all the AWESOME photos from this event that Adam Garberg posted in our Photo Gallery.... Thank you Adam!

Audi Club Glacier Lakes held a driver school at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, MN, on May 17-18, 2013. Eager students, instructors, and families gathered on Friday night for registration and student-instructor introductions at the Arrowood Lodge in Baxter, MN.

Saturday morning was gray and rainy during the advanced student lapping sessions on the Competition Road Course and novice/intermediate classroom and exercise sessions. Conditions were excellent for learning how to find every bit of grip on the brand new (and still slightly oily) track surface. Advanced students were treated to a discussion led by experienced race driver Ben Anderson. The weather cleared up in the afternoon, and the cars were allowed to stretch their legs on the Donnybrooke Road Course. Happy hour sponsored by Imola Motorsports gave drivers and families a chance to relax. Then, a barbecue and raffle at The Wheelie Bar & Grille provided a chance for participants to relax, compare notes,…

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!
