Default Heidts Performance Car Challenge - Midwest

February 21, 2011 (Wauconda, Il) - Heidts Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts is proud to present the Heidts Performance Car Challenge - Midwest, July 15 - 17 at the Autobahn Country Club located in Joliet, IL. The three-day event will provide enthusiast drivers the opportunity to hone their driving skills in the following elements:

Road Course
Autocross
Acceleration/Braking
Road Rally

The event will be open to domestic performance vehicles of all years. The experience will start Friday at Heidts Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts headquarters, offering participants time to meet and socialize, followed by a 50 mile cruise to the host hotel in Joliet, IL.

On Saturday the road course element will be run on the Autobahn Country Club North Track. The 1.46-mile track is technical but forgiving and will challenge all levels of drivers from novice to experienced.

On Sunday, drivers will tackle one of the most unique autocross courses ever dreamed – created right on the 1.46-mile track. Rumble strips, slaloms, rotundas and other features will test set-up and driving skills. Simultaneously, the acceleration/braking challenge will be run on the front straight, demonstrating not only the vehicle’s braking prowess, but the driver’s abilities and skills as well.

This is a premium driving experience that you don’t want to miss. More details and sign-up information to follow – mark your calendars now!

The Heidts Performance Car Challenge will be an OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational qualifier.

I’m in! I hope we take highway 59 for road rally. I’m not seeing too many E85Gas Stations in that area and I could be in trouble. Time to invest in fuel jugs
