Default What are you waiting for?

We have heard loud and clear that you guys want more events. We have worked very hard to bring you exactly what you have asked for and this year should be the best yet. There will be more OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Qualifiers than ever before. One of our newest qualifiers is the Heidts Performance Car Challenge at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL, July 15th - 17th. The team at Heidts has stepped up to bring you a world-class event at a world-class facility. Autobahn is the premier automotive facility in the Midwest and is not available to the general public. Don’t miss your opportunity - this event is less than 90 days away, so let's get signed up and enjoy one of the best road course facilities the Midwest has to offer.

Here is some information on this fantastic facility.

How about an event in the Pacific North West?

I have heard from at least one person that at $400 and Motorstate Challenge at just over $100, the price is not very attractive for the relatively small amount of track time.

Jeff, Unfortunately, track economics are not equally divided! Autobahn is a premier country club facility here in the Midwest and it's not open to the general public. We have at least 6 fifteen minute sessions scheduled for Saturday (that's at least 1.5 hours of track time!) and we have open autocross sessions scheduled for Sunday. We always strive to maximize track time - remember last year's Faceoff and Midwest Musclecar Challenge? We had participants sitting in the pits at both events because they were exhausted.

Additionally, we're hosting a karting enduro at this event which has proven to be some of the most fun a guy can have with his clothes on.

We truly feel that everyone will get their money's worth and more at the Heidts performance Car Challenge.

I'm already entered - have been for a while. Come on out and play, guys! Just think. In addition to what Wally and Jimi said, you also get the pleasure of watching me totally embarrass myself! Should be fun!

Just repeating what had been said to me. I will most likely be there. Too close not to.

Texas is a possibility, no plans as of yet.
Thanks,

The team at Heidts has decided extend the $40 discount to all participants who sign up for the event from now until the day of the event. So if you missed your window to save forty bucks on your entry to the Heidts Performance Car Challenge, the window has been re-opened... We look forward to seeing you there!
