Vehicle Technical Inspection

BMW CCA HPDE regulations no longer allow chapters to sponsor pre technical inspections for track events. The tech sheet is required to be signed by the inspector and the participant and handed in at registration. You can take your car to be inspected at your dealership or your favorite independent shop. As a courtesy, we have arranged for two of the independent shops who in the past have sponsored our pre-tech inspections to provide that service. You must call for an appointment (no drop-ins!), the charge is $30 and as with all prior track event pre-techs the participant accepts all liability. The shops are 7th Gear Auto Repair at 501 Morse Ave in Schaumburg (224-659-3461) and Rauch Autocare at 855 Skokie Highway in Lake Bluff, (847-235-2204).

Complete the inspection no earlier than 4 weeks prior and not later than 2 weeks prior to the event to allow time for corrections to be performed on your vehicle if required.

Track Damages
You will be held personally responsible for damages to the track that may occur. For example, if you spill oil on the track, damage a tire wall or concrete barrier, Autobahn Country Club will bill Windy City BMW CCA for these damages. We will, in turn, ask you to reimburse us for this cost. This applies to any charges incurred for the use of tow trucks or ambulance above what we have agreed to in our contract with Autobahn Country Club for the event.

Saturday Dinner at Autobahn Country Club Event

This year we will meet at Syl's Chophouse at 829 Moen Ave, Rockdale, IL. After the day of driving, come at your leisure to socialize. We have a room reserved for dinner from 6:30 until the restaurant closes at 10:00 pm. Pick one from the menu below or select starters/salads/desserts/drinks you may want from their full menu. The wait staff will give you an individual meal bill. You are responsible for tips and taxes. If coming to dinner, please give us your anticipated menu choice so the restaurant can more easily prepare for our group size and foods required. We hope to see you there.
