Default autobahn question

Do they ever have any "Time attack" events? We have a car going to one down south next month and we are looking for events near by.

Not Autobahn itself, but I would think some of the clubs/groups that rent the track might have time attack events. Having said that, I don't recall ever seeing one out there, but I'm guessing it must have happened at some point?

A club in Michigan used to do that, I participated once with Jimmy. A forum member named Rene used to coordinate it. Maybe they are doing another one?

You might want yo check out the North Suburban Sports Car Club (nsscc.com). I went to one of the driving schools they held last year and they were talking about timed and wheel to wheel events at Blackhawk Farms. In fact they are having school again at the Autobahn on 03-29-08, it is free but you must register by the 23rd. See ya there!

Hopefully the snow will be gone by then, or they might have a weak turn out.

The Midwest Council of Sports Car Clubs has two timed events at Blackhawk a year (one on the North track, one on the South track).
