Information
Audi Club North America Advanced Driver's Day at Putnam Park, Greencastle, IN - Monday August 9th, 2010
The Audi Club Chicago Chapter looks forward to its first event at Putnam Park. Putnam Park Road Course is a 1.78 mile, 10-turn road course that opened in 1991. The facility is located 35 miles west of Indianapolis, Indiana. For more track information and location information, please see the Putnam Park website at: http://www.putnampark.com/.
This event is open to all members of the Audi Club North America age 18 or older. If wish to participate but you are not a member, sign up at http://www.audiclubna.org/about/join.html or call 262-567-5476.
This will be an Advanced Driver's Day and will not be like a typical Club Driving School, as there will be no classroom activity. There will be no on-track exercises. It is assumed that all participants have sufficient experience and can safely comport themselves on track in an appropriate manner. As such, you must have a MINIMUM of four Audi Club Driving Schools or equivalent experience level. All applications must be approved in advance by the Event Master. You will be required to list your most recent four Audi Club Driving Schools on your application. If your experience is outside the Audi Club, you must submit a detailed driving resume with verifiable references (email preferred).
Who should attend?
Putnam Park Advanced Driver's Day is for experienced participants that desire more on-track time with which to hone their skills. This event is designed as an intensive exposure to the virtually the whole mile oval and infield section and it is likely that we will have several hours of on-track time available to each participant. Again a minimum of FOUR Audi Club Driving Schools is required for participation.
What to expect?
There will be a morning tech inspection and a brief driver's meeting and then the track is open for 30 minute sessions. Drivers will be grouped by previous experience level. Instructors will be driving in all run groups to observe participants on track. Like every other Audi Club event, expect the camaraderie of your fellow Audi enthusiasts. This is a "no-frills" event. This facility is quite costly to rent, and we are going to try to keep costs down for participants, consequently, there will be no dinner, nor the exquisite gifts you have come to enjoy from our other events. By the end of the day you will go home tired and will probably have more time available to you on track than you wish to use.
2010 Audi Club North America Event Rules
The minimum helmet rating for Audi Club events for 2010 has been set at Snell M2000. Please keep in mind that a higher minimum standard may apply if mandated by another sanctioning body (e.g., some tracks set their own minimum standard, as do some local club chapters).
Please note that ALL convertibles must be equipped with an SCCA-approved 4-point roll bar and will be subject to the broomstick/2-inch rule in order to participate in an ACNA Driver's School. Attendees with convertibles MUST contact the eventmaster and inform him/her that you wish to participate with a convertible. The broomstick/2-inch rule means that when a broomstick is placed from the windshield header across to the roll bar, there must be 2 inches or more of space between the HELMETED head of the driver and the bottom of the broomstick. Failure to pass this test means you can't drive this vehicle at an ACNA Driver's School. If you fail to notify the eventmaster and just "show up" with a convertible, and subsequently fail the test, you will not receive a refund.
Membership is required for participation in Audi Club driving schools (instructors too). This is not only an issue of member privilege (and member benefit) but also an issue of insurance.
If the event is cancelled due to weather or other situation beyond our control, participants will be refunded their fees less any monies the club has paid which cannot be recovered. An itemized accounting will be provided with the refund check.
THIS IS NOT A RACE OR A RACING SCHOOL.
Drivers are financially responsible for any and all damages they make to a facility and its parts. The only insurance covering drivers and their vehicles at the facility is their own.
ALL CANCELLATIONS SUBJECT TO A CANCELLATION FEE OF $50.
