**AMS TRACK DAY!! Sunday September 14th**

AMS Track Day Schedule and Registration For Sunday September 14th, 2008


AUTOBAHN COUNTRY CLUB
JOLIET, IL


Sunday September 14th South Course - $225.00 (90 total spots)


THIS IS OPEN FOR ALL CARS

Some nice things about the AMS track days:
• We will have over 15 instructors on site to help you polish your skills
• There will be a FREE Driving school for the beginner and Novice groups
• AMS will be supplying a free on site technician for any small repairs / diagnosis
• All registrants will receive a free AMS T-shirt at the track.
• You will receive a track day packet in the mail outlining the flag descriptions, Schedule and course overview
• Above all AMS track days are fun and safe. We offer sessions ranging from First timers to dedicated lap dogs

To sign up for the event please call me (Frank) here at the shop. I will place you in your run group and take your track day payment. I can be reached at 847 709-0530 Extension 2017


With that said let’s get down to the Safety and equipment points:

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD BRAKES!!!

A quick note to everyone that signs up. we are placing you in a run group based on your experience not how fast your car is or how fast you THINK you are. This is a fun track day. Just because someone is faster than you in the straights does not mean that you are a faster driver.... it simply means your car is quicker. Getting put in a class that is too high for you will only slow down the other drivers in that class or worse...push you beyond your limits. Please trust us in our decision on what run group to put you in.


Basic AMS Track day rules
• four wheels off will END YOUR DAY ON THE TRACK!
• two wheels off will end that Session
• the second time you go two wheels off will END YOUR DAY ON THE TRACK
• The first session for beginner and novice will be a parade group/ on track classroom session
• there will be a ZERO TOLLERANCE RULE on ALL RECKLESS DRIVING


THIS IS NOT A RACE!!!!!!!!!

How is the availability in the Novice group? Might go to this event, and bring another buddy with an Evo as well.

Went to the Autobahn for the Bobby Rahal Historic Races today. Everything was sponsored by West Napelton Porsche. We cruised down to the track with a 100+ Porches and police escort the whole way.

Brother and I drove the south course in his 911 Turbo. Had a blast, and would love to take my Evo out!

Lawrence is one hell of a driver and will never disappoint on a ride along. The last track day you could hear him bellowing out Team America's "AMERICA....F*&K yeah!" while behind the wheel of my Z06....quite the site.

Thanks Eric! Driving the Vette is a true American experience, sounds awesome!

Greg, my brakes never went out randomly, for some reason they'd get really hot! LOL

All will be fine for the trackday.

Bring it on fellas! Sign up!
