Turn 2 is hosting a lapping day at Pacific Raceways tomorrow, September 27th, benefiting the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA).

Please consider coming to the event, whether it’s to race or spectate, we’d all love to see everyone come out and support!

If you’re interested in registering for the lapping day, today is your last chance to do so. Click the following link for more info: http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c…F6B8A243851282

We will have products on display from APR, H&R, and StopTech and we’ll a few examples of the Achtuning vehicle line-up on display as well. Achtuning tee-shirts will be available for sale along with Achtuning branded folding chairs to make your day on the grass that much better.

As a club sponsor, we’d like to help get the word out. This is something EVERYONE should do!!

For the novice driver and the experienced veteran this event will have something for everyone!

For our high performance drivers school we will put students (teens and adults) through a litany of exercises designed to help you become a better driver, more able to deal with extreme situations with ease, and more comfortable on your daily commute as well. Walking you through these exercises are Audi Club instructors who will make you feel at ease while learning things that one day might save your life. You will have hands on experience in your car and there will be multiple short discussion sessions where things learned on the course will be discussed in detail. Towards the end of the day students will be taken out to our low speed autocross course should they choose and get to drive a timed lap that will test what you learned all day in real time with only time consequences when you make a mistake. See the more detailed description of this event and register atwww.audiclubnw.motorsportreg.com. You must pre-register to attend this event.

For our more experienced drivers we will have a full, very large autocross utilizing portions of the Monroe Speedway racetrack. This will be a very unique autocross with the camber of the track being used for the additional challenge that creates. The huge figure 8 oval will be used for the majority of the course. We are limiting registrations to 30 cars so there will be plenty of runs. Bring plenty of gas. In the afternoon there will be at least four high end instructor sessions where lines at Pacific Raceways and Portland International raceway will be discussed as well as some technical sessions where car alignment, tire pressures, and other car related things will be discussed. All included in the basic entry fee. See more information about this and register at www.audiclubnw.motorsportreg.com

For those who just want to partake in the afternoon technical sessions there is also an opportunity to just sign up for those. Audi Club North America membership is required for entry into these sessions and you must register on the www.audiclubnw.motorsportreg.com website. Members get into these talks for FREE.

Audi’s are not required for this or any portion of University of Quattro so feel free to invite friends and co-workers to this event. ACNA membership is not required for either the Drivers Education (exercises or autocross) or the full autocross.

Audi Club NA – Northwest Chapter
Saturday May 14 – Sunday May 15
Bremerton Motorsports Park, Port Orchard, WA
Last day to register online: Mon May 9, 2011

Once again it is our privilege to sponsor the Audi Club Northwest’s annual Matt Ammon Memorial Driving School and Teen Clinic for 2011.

Audi Club Northwest and Achtuning are proud to present the Fifth Annual Matt Ammon Memorial Driving School and Teen Driver Clinic at Bremerton Motorsports Park, May 14-15.

Who was Matt Ammon? Matt Ammon bought his ’01 Nogaro Blue Audi S4 in May of 2001 and became very active in local chapters of Audi Club North America in Ohio, Illinois, Virginia and Missouri before coming to the Seattle area in the Summer of 2006. Tragically, he was taken from us in November 2006. In his all too short time with us Matt brought his enthusiasm, skill and knowledge and quickly became integrated with the local Audi community and Audi Club Northwest. When asked what modifications one should make to their car, Matt would be quick to answer, “The first mod should be driving school.”

Saturday’s Driver Education (“DE”) is not the DE we had when we first earned our drivers license. This is an advanced DE course that is encouraged for all drivers, teens, novices or intermediate drivers. It is an exciting opportunity to learn how you and your car work together in real life situations on the street and highway. DE students will participate in a number of exercises (slalom, emergency braking, collision avoidance, skid pad) on Saturday morning and run the DE Autocross in the afternoon.

What is an autocross? An autocross is where drivers navigate through a course by following a route of cones that make up turns, gates and slaloms. Autocross is an excellent way to practice the car control skills learned in the morning’s driving clinic exercises.

More experienced drivers can register for the All-day Autocross on Saturday, which is held on a second course layout. The All-day Autocross is for practiced drivers looking for lots of runs! For enthusiasts, this big autocross is a chance to sharpen your skills for the new season.

On Sunday, we have our All-day Lapping or high performance driving school. What is lapping? Using street rules, with strict passing rules enforced, instructed lapping on a road course puts multiple cars on the course for 20-30 minute sessions. This is not racing; there is no side-by-side braking or fender contact. This is another great way to learn and practice car control. People who have completed a DE course and are 18+ years old are invited to participate. Anyone who drives on the interstate should attend at least one lapping event to practice skills at highway speeds.

The Teen Driver Clinic is discounted to $25 for young drivers 16-19 years old. Register early as there are only 15 spots available! This clinic is designed for the beginning driver, teaching valuable skills such as emergency braking, collision avoidance and car control. A parent, guardian or authorized representative must accompany teens younger than 18 to the facility.

Parents of teen drivers are encouraged to attend the Teen Driver Clinic as a participant! Take the same clinic as your teen; make the day important for you too! Share stories at home! A special package price of just $79 ($25 teen +$54 parent) puts each of you in the same exercises and practice so you can share the experience together. You’ll be able to talk about driver skill using the same terms, and have fun together. Teen and parent must register individually using the selections available in the next screens. You can share one car for this event; each of you will have the same driving time.

Adult drivers 18+ may choose from the following event options:

Two-day price of $225 for Driver Education and Lapping Day.
Two-day price of $195 for the All-day Autocross and Lapping Day.
One-day price of $100 for Saturday-only Driver Education and DE Autocross.
One-day price of $75 for Saturday All-day Autocross.
One-day price of $145 for Sunday Lapping Day.
Registration pricing includes lunch for each day you participate. Guest lunches are available for $12.

Sunday Lapping attendees must be Audi Club North America/Audi Club Northwest members. You may purchase membership at time of registration (best method) or go to the Audi Club North America website to join.

Saturday-only participants are welcome to come back on Sunday to spectate and talk with the new enthusiasts you’ve met. It is okay to bring friends with you too. You may be able to arrange rides with designated instructors on Sunday to experience first hand what a lapping day is all about.
