About this event
Audi Club Northwest is proud to welcome members to Portland International Raceway (PIR) on November 5-6 for Quattrofest 2011, sponsored by Sunset Audi!
Quattrofest has been a fixture at PIR and our signature event for many years. The track has two miles of asphalt for everyone to enjoy. It features twelve turns that will include the famous "Festival Curves" for this event (http://tinyurl.com/PIR20101106).
Easy to learn but challenging to perfect, PIR has a storied history. It has hosted many huge events including CART, IMSA, Trans Am, ALMS, NASCAR, and other national racing series. Tailor-made for driving schools, the facility has enough room to simultaneously run lapping sessions and skills exercises. This physical arrangement also allows Quattrofest to hold an autocross.
Saturday the driving event proper starts with our Drivers Education program for novice drivers and lapping for advanced drivers. Learning to be better drivers is what Audi Club Northwest is all about. For information about what our driving schools look like please go to http://www.audiclubna.org/about-acna-topmenu-33/acna-driving-schools-topmenu-62. This gives you a very good overview of what Audi Club North America driving schools are all about.
Drivers Education students will then get to participate in the afternoon autocross or lapping. If you have questions about what to register for, send the event master or registrar a note and they can help you tailor the event to your needs.
For Saturday evening, plan on a terrific dinner banquet at the Red Lion Hotel on the Columbia River, with good company, good food, and an entertaining experience for Audi enthusiasts. We are pleased to welcome Ross Bentley as guest speaker at our banquet.
Sunday, you go back to the track and continue with either lapping or autocross.
We hope you will consider joining us for this very special Quattrofest!
