AMS 2009 Track day schedule... Autobahn, Road America and Blackhawk!!

EDIT: AUTOBAHN EVENING SESSION IS NOW FULL


AMS 2009 Track day Schedule

It's that time of the year again. The grass is getting greener. The days are getting longer. It's time to start thinking about track pads, brake bleeding, point by’s and snell ratings. IT'S TRACK SEASON!!!!

With that in mind AMS has three very unique track days available for all of our customers. Each one is at a different venue and has only a small number of spots available. For two of our events we have been lucky enough to pair up with Laps, Inc to provide one of the best track day experiences available. The benefits of a Laps, Inc track day are many and honestly too much to list in this post. I do HIGHLY recommend that you visit there site and see why we chose them as the perfect fit for an AMS track day http://www.lapsincorporated.com/aboutlapsinc.htm

Now each event is at a different and unique track. We thought this year people might like to try something different then just whipping around autobahn (as fun as that is). Because the first two events are paired with Laps, Inc the space available to us is small and WILL GO QUICKLY!

Monday May 25th (Memorial Day) Road America
Site: http://www.roadamerica.com/
Track Map: http://www.roadamerica.com/information_trackmap.htm
Number of Available spots: 40
Price: $295.00

Monday June 22nd Blackhawk Farms Raceway
Site: http://www.blackhawkfarms.com/
Track Map: http://www.blackhawkfarms.com/about.cfm
Number of available spots: 35
Price: $195.00

Now this next event needs a little more explaining. We have a really cool opportunity for the lucky few that sign up. On Sunday July 5th we are renting out Autobahn country club like we have in the past. From 9-5 we will be running a traditional south course AMS track day. Full of fast straights and complex turns. Here is the twist though. From 5:30-8:30 Autobahn will have the track converted to FULL COURSE. So not only will you get 8 hours at the track with south but an additional 3 hours on full. All for the same low price that you would normally pay for a WEEKDAY Autobahn track day…just $245.00!

Let me say that again just in case it didn’t sink in. 11 hours of track day, South AND FULL COURSE ….on a SUNDAY for only $245!!!!!

To make this event sweeter we are allowing a small number of spots for people that JUST want to run the full course from 5:30 – 8:30. This will only cost you $100!!!! That’s right, three hours on full course for only $100!!!! We are only allotting 20 spots for this so act FAST if you want this

Sunday July 5th Autobahn South and Full Course
Site: http://www.drivefastbesafe.com/
Track Map:
Number of available spots:
  • Full day: 100
  • Full only from 5:30-8:30pm: 20
Price:
  • Full day: $245.00
  • Full only from 5:30-8:30pm: $100.00

Now as with any AMS track day we will have the same on site service that you have grown accustomed to:
  • An AMS technician on site to help with brake bleeding and general tech issues
  • AMS staff on hand to answer any and all questions
  • Several experienced instructors to assist you in becoming safer and quicker around
    the track
  • Small selection of parts on hand in the event its needed.


If you are interested in any or all of the above track days please contact us at 847 709-0530 and speak to Frank at extension 2017. We will fill out a short form with you, put you in a run group and get you all ready to roll for this year’s season


Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you all on the track!!!

Eric

At past AMS events, it's been Evo heavy; yes. As much as 1/2 of them, but a lot of DSM's, STi's and the like as well. Plus a normal smattering of others.

Since they're teaming up with Laps Inc for a few of them, I'd say there will be a big assortment of vehiculars out there.

I am registered for this event. I need to know if we will be getting 3 full hours of track time or if there are run groups.

If its less than 3 hours it doesn't really pay for me to drive 5 hours to get there. If there are 100 cars during the day and 20 at night it would appear there is only 1 run group.

AMS please elaborate.

I was thinking about this today.... they could easily allow the 20 night time runners to have track access for the full 3 hours. Even if there were 4 run groups that would only be 5 addition cars per session and odds are most of the daytime crew will be broke or tired by the PM session.

If AMS could allow for the full 3 hours I will go. I wouldn't want to pay for fuel, tolls, food, and all the rest of the monkey business like fighting traffic for less than 3 hours.
