Every Summer, our annual Driving School at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, IL is one of our most popular events. Some say it’s popular because of the camaraderie, some like the atmosphere and others just really enjoy the track. This past summer it was so popular, that registration had to be closed due to a record response. This year we were able to secure an October weekend at Blackhawk Farms and already the response has been very positive. Many of us are looking forward to driving this fun and challenging track on a crisp Fall day and relaxing in the evenings by a warm bonfire. If you’ve never attended one of our driving schools before, we’re offering a $100 discount on the registration fees to entice you further. Don’t worry – we’ll take good care of you and you’ll have such a good time, your smile will likely last through the Winter months. Web registration is open and we encourage you to register early to avoid being left out until next year. This is our last track-based event of the season – come on out and learn about yourself, your car and to have a good time.

Registration and more info here!

Online registration is now OPEN for the Frank Beddor National Event at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, Minnesota on October 9-11.

The Audi Club Chicago Chapter looks forward to its first event at America's Legendary Oval, The Milwaukee Mile. The 1.8 mile road course at The Milwaukee Mile was newly paved during the 2005 season, with a final polymer-mixed topcoat of asphalt laid down in 2007. Possessing a tricky combination of high speed straightaways, and a decreasing radius hairpin, the track incorporates virtually the whole mile oval and infield section. For more track information and location information, please see the Milwaukee Mile website at: http://www.milwaukeemile.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 above! 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).

We have several ideas bouncing around including an “Old School” Audi concourse on Saturday. If there is enough interest / participation by the old school guys we can coordinate a special run group and / or track touring over lunch on Sunday. Details are still being worked out – watch your e-mail for updates on the special events! $100.00 Discount for first time participants and spouses of participants
