The South Texas Audi Gruppe is organizing a get together and driving event for Saturday, April 29th. This is going to be held at an abandoned blimp base in Hitchcock, toward Galveston, a few miles past the dog track. It will pretty much be an all day event as we have to rent the facility, which will cost about $1000. The pricing per person will depend upon how many entries there are (but less entries = more track time each, so you will get what you pay for). I have got to get some more people who confirm that they will attend (we only have 7 or 8 so far) in order to justify getting the track.
Speaking of the track, it is where SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) conducts their autocross runs. We will probably close the track, so each owner can get upwards of 20 minutes of track time on the course, with probably only one other car on the course at a time. The track is only 0.7 miles in length and average speeds will probably be less than 50MPH, so it's not high speed and there's nothing to collide with or harm that would be done to your car if you were to spin off of the course for some reason.
Anyone that's never done something like this is invited. You will have a blast. Most of the South Texas Audi Gruppe is in the Austin and San Antonio area, so turnout among them has not been very good. Please e-mail me ASAP with your response or if you have any other questions. This will fall apart if I don't get about 10 more people who want to do this in the next week. If you think you might come, please let me know this and the realistic odds of your attendance as well.
For the men of the house that are reading this, this would also be a great opportunity for your wives/girlfriends to come out and drive as well since it will be pretty informal, low speed, etc. We'll probably have to arrange something for lunch as well, but what is undecided.
