About this event

 

NEQ 2010 Lime Rock Park Driver School and Safety Seminar

 
 
The Northeast Chapter of the Audi Club NA (NEQ) is holding its annual event at Lime Rock Park in the beautiful Northwest corner of Connecticut on May 20 - 21, 2010.  This year we will be sharing track time  with the Lime Rock Club.  To insure that all participants get the same track time as at previous LRP events, we are limiting the number of students in each run group.  This will allow us to have three to four full track sessions on each day for every run group.  Please join us at LRP for two full days of fun and learning on one of New England's most beautiful road courses! The fee for this event is $525.  This is higher than other events due to the cost fo the track and the limited number of students we can allow (only 48).
 
The banquet will be at the Interlaken Inn (http://www.interlakeninn.com) at a cost of $45.00

Here are some hotel suggestions:

Inn at Iron Masters, Lakeville, CT  http://www.innatironmasters.com/

Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT  http://www.interlakeninn.com

The White Hart Inn, Salisbury, CT http://www.whitehartinn.com/

 

 
Please sign up now because the event sells out quickly.

The NEQ is a great driver's school that focuses on safety and training and is a great place to start to learn high performance driving.

Who we are and what we do

The Northeast Chapter of the Audi Club of North America, or "NEQ" for short, is a non-profit organization which was founded for the purpose of driver education and safety training. To that end, the club runs approximately 6 events at motorsport facilities around the Northeast, including Lime Rock Park,Monticello Motor Club, Watkins Glen International, and Mont Tremblant. Our events teach safe driving techniques and both low and high speed vehicle handling. In addition, the club usually runs Winter Driving Schools, social events, including "Fun Runs," Foliage Tours, and other social gatherings.

When you join the Audi Club of North America, if you reside in the NEQ chapter area, you are automatically put on our mailing list, which means you should receive our quarterly newsletter, The Gripster, as well as an election ballot towards the end of the year. If you do not, please contact the ACNA's office and confirm your mailing address is correct.

Want to be notified of upcoming NEQ events?
In an effort to keep our members informed of upcoming NEQ events we have established an e-mail notification process.

If you would like to receive an e-mail when registration opens for a noticed NEQ event use this process to register with the club. Once registered you will receive an e-mail prior to the day registration for an event opens, giving you a heads up and allow early registration. Many NEQ events fill up early and this will give you that little reminder to register early. This will be the sole purpose of your e-mail address - it will never be used for any other purpose than your notification of NEQ events.

To sign up for this new NEQ service just Register Online to be placed on the list.

Tech pre-Inspection

Well in advance of any on-track driving event, you'll need to get your car pre-inspected by a competent mechanic, who will have to provide a completed and signed copy of the Safety Inspection Checklist form (first page only) for you to bring with you to registration. Please get your car inspected at least two weeks before the event to avoid disappointment if the inspection uncovers repairs that must be completed before the car will pass.

 

The Northeast Region Quattro Club recognizes several Audi-VW tuners and service centers. They are NEQ supporters with years of experience and scores of satisfied customers. As a benefit for NEQ members they will provide free tech pre-inspection for applicants of our schools. Bring your Safety Inspection Checklist form. After inspection they will sign your form to be sure you are eligible for our event. Naturally there will be a charge for any parts or labor that are additionally required to prepare your vehicle. Two of these sites are APR distributors. They are all participants of our events with much experience in regard to car preparation and advice for upgrades. You will be happy with their services without the worry of dealing with a Audi-VW dealership or corner repair shop. Be sure to call for appointments well in advance of an event.
