Audi Club Northwest and Sunset Imports present Quattrofest 2008 at Portland International Raceway on November 1-2 (Sat-Sun). This is the signature driving event for our club and offers much more than just the driving school.  It includes chalk talks before the event, door prizes, an auction at our banquet, and many terrific people to meet.

The two-day driver’s education package for $349 includes instruction, track time, lunch both days, a commemorative shirt, and the banquet on Saturday night.

Open Lapping for Intermediate (Solo) or Advanced drivers is $200 for Saturday only or $175 for Sunday only, with lunch.  The two-day lapping package includes lunch both days, commemorative shirt, and the banquet on Saturday night for $349.

Shell Oil is a proud sponsor of our teen activities for this event.  We hope to get as many teens involved as possible.  With Shell's sponsorship, we are offering a special price of $25 for teen participants in the Saturday clinic.  This will be an all day class and will be the best money that they have ever spent on driving.  Parents are encouraged to attend the same program (and may share the same car) for $125; that's $150 for teen and parent for the full day.

Instructor price is $125 unless you taught at Son of Quattrofest 2008 (Portland) or Matt Ammon Memorial Driving School 2008 (Bremerton), which will qualify for a $50 credit selection.  Email me at mardkins@msn.com if you are not already on our Instructor list and cannot see the instructor registration.  Instructor package includes lunch both days, t-shirt, and the banquet on Saturday evening, and lapping times on both days.

We will meet on Friday evening, October 31st, for registration and ground school for novices and new drivers. Other ground school sessions will be available during the previous week to accommodate those who cannot come out on the 31st.

Saturday November 1st is Drivers Ed and Safety Skills for new drivers and novices, and lapping for Intermediates (solo), Instructors, and Advanced drivers.  Sunday November 2nd is a full day of lapping for all drivers, except teens.  Both days are available for single day lapping, and you may attend the Drivers Ed on Saturday without attending or lapping on Sunday.  The shirt and banquet are not included in the single day pricing.

All attendees must be Audi Club North America members, except Teen Clinic participants. You may purchase membership at time of registration using the Membership Pack (a modest deal this way!) or go to http://www.audiclubna.org/about/join.html to join directly with ACNA.

Convertibles must have an approved aftermarket roll bar, one that also passes the “broomstick rule” such that a broomstick from the top of the windshield to the top of the roll bar is over the head of the driver.

Snell 2000-rated or newer Helmets are normally required, but for this last event of 2008 we've secured permission for continued use of the Snell 2005, Snell 2000, and Snell 95 stickered helmets (checked at Tech on Saturday morning).  The SA (Automotive), M (Motorcycle) and K (Karting) designators are approved.  The Club has 25 new Bell open-face rental helmets in various sizes (Snell-rated SA2005) if you need to rent one for this event.  Please reserve early and indicate your size preference in the online registration and payment.

The Marriot Courtyard Portland North Harbor will be our host hotel.  We have reserved a block of rooms at a discount. Please indicate you are with the Audi Club. Reservations can be made direct at 1-503-735-1818 or on-line at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pdxnh-courtyard-portland-north-harbour/  If you use the online registration for the hotel, enter the event date range you want to reserve a room (10/31 Fri, 11/01 Sat) and the Group code (not the Corporate/promotional code) field to get the discount: "audauda" for a 2-bed room.  If you have any trouble, try a different browser or call the hotel directly.
