Audi Club Wisconsin - Road America - 2019

Road America

About this event

You must be at least 18 to drive during this event.

Throttlestop is our premier and featured sponsor for the 2019 Audi Club Wisconsin Chapter Road America event.

Sunday activities start with vehicle tech and registration at Throttlestop on Sunday afternoon May 19th from 3:00 - 5:45. A light buffet & cash bar will be provided by Throttlestop from 4:00 pm until 6:00 pm. (Staff should come to Throttlestop at 1pm on Sunday.)

Their museum is open for self-guided tours all day, however, a presentation/guided tour of Throttlestop and the museum by their staff will be on Sunday afternoon at 5:00 pm.

Our event's combined driver and instructor meeting on Sunday will be in the Throttlestop garage using the 200” screen and laser projector, starting at 6:00 pm. The combined meeting will last until approximately 6:45pm when student and instructor pairings will be announced.

Afterwards a brief Instructor meeting will be held to go over exercise, grid, and other assignments.

Throttlestop is located at 20 Victory Lane, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin 53020

Monday starts with a quick meeting, then classroom for beginner and intermediate drivers. The rest of the morning will be taken up by in-car exercises, led by our instructors. They will show you threshold braking techniques, side-to-side weight transfer in a slalom exercise, and an accident avoidance exercise. Classroom sessions continue off and on through the two days. If you are a novice you will be assigned an instructor to ride with you whenever you are on the track. In the afternoon, you will go out onto the track. Your instructor will drive you around in your car to show you the line and acquaint you with the track. Instructors drive you at a reasonable and quite reduced speed, as they want you to learn from the orientation. Then, you will begin driving the entire track with the instructor coaching you the entire time.

Monday evening will bring our banquet and a time to socialize with all of the other drivers and instructors from all over the US and some from Canada. Our sponsors always have cool Audi related items that we give away or auction off. The banquet at the Osthoff is $30 per participant. Guest dinners are also $30. You'll be able to enter your entree choice on the registration form. A vegetarian meal is also available. 

Tuesday, you will have classroom interspersed with a mystery exercise, and lots of time on the track to hone your skills.

Fees are payable online with your credit card when you register. (see registration form for details)

Many automobile insurance policies now exclude coverage for events that take place on a race track. The only way to know if your policy still covers driving schools is to read your policy. If you find that your policy does not cover our driving schools you can purchase event insurance from Lockton Affinity Motorsports,
