The Northwoods Gran Prix at Autobahn Counrty Club event is designed to be a great time for novice and experienced drivers alike. This event is not a race, it is not an autocross nor is it a competition. It is a touring opportunity to drive your car at speed on a real road race course, testing both your skills and the capabilities of your car.

There are basic rules enforced to permit drivers quality track time at their own speed and experience level. Participation is limited so that drivers and passengers maximize their day at the Autobahn. Registration will be closed once the event is full.

Henry V,

It could just be me, but I get the message "Not Found" when trying to open the event registration link at the bottom of your post--if it's just me, then ignore this! LOL

I've done your Road Am event the past 3 years and I'm sorry but I don't remember you--of course I'm lucky to remember half of anything anymore. but I have been getting the club's emails about the RA event--do you know if camping will be an option this year?

Oh yeah and you probably don't know who I am either The crew I know is the Clay-Marv-Brian-David-Dar & Bruce--of course they probably won't claim to know me--especially if you ask Bruce and I have my Vette! And of course Fred who during my first DE took me out and showed me how to really drive a car on the track- my Aha! moment LOL (and I know him through Doug too--someone who always goes above and beyond!)

Anita
