2013 Heidt's Performance Car Challenge

[Bill Howell]

OK guys, this announcement has been in the works since about SEMA, but we want to make it official. The 2013 Heidt's Performance Car Challenge will be one of the American Street Car Series events! How cool is that. Many of you have already been to Autobahn before and we look forward to doing an event there now. The official dates are May 10-12, 2013. We will have registration up hopefully before the end of the year and host hotel information also. Watch for upcoming information about the event and be sure to set that weekend aside. We promise this one will be a large time with some surprises in store. We will see you there.

[tommycomfort]

We plan to be there. Maybe even rent a motor home and bring Mom for some Mother's Day ride alongs.

I'm all over this one for all 3 days, Autobahn is an awesome circuit for those that missed the last Heidt's event.....don't miss this one!!!

[James OLC]

I think we'll try to be there... One Lap ends Saturday so we'll have to see what kind of shape we're in...

If anyone wants to to tag along on some transit driving or stop by on your way to Autobahn, we'll be at Carolina Motorsports Park (and the BMW Test Center) on Wednesday, Virginia International Raceway on Thursday, and the Pittsburg International Race Complex on Friday. We should be back in South Bend Friday night at something close to the cocktail hour...

Great to hear!! The 2011 event was a blast, I'll definetaly be adding this to the calendar!

[TheJDMan]

Is there an event schedule posted somewhere? I would like to see what the weekend is all about. I used to live in Yorkville IL and still have friends there who I have not seen for a few years. This far out I can probably schedule the week off.

[Bill Howell]

Steve,
No schedule yet and for a reason. However, basically a cruise on Friday, track day Saturday and Sunday. Car show on Saturday that will be separate from track cars, but those guys will get some paced laps just to get them on the track.
Host Hotel announcement will be soon.
I would suggest arriving at the hotel on Thursday as Friday will be at least a half day trek.

[Mark -G-]

Great to hear all around! Event, participation, location, .... Its a have to on my list for sure. Looking forward to seeing everybody trackside!

Insider info alert! It looks like we will have 2 complete days (Saturday and Sunday) on Autobahns north track, 2 days of autocross and a car show, all happening at the same time. Get off the big track and head over to the autocross track for some laps. While all of this is happening the "members" will be running their exotics on the south track. Tell your friends to come by, this will be a great spectator event and an even better driver event.

Make sure you BRING the extra set of pads so you don't end up watching because of that special grinding sound!!!!!
