TireRack Partnership
Cherokee Audi Club and TireRack have partnered together to help raise funds for the club. If you click on the TireRack logo on the Cherokee Audi Club homepage prior to purchasing new tires, a small portion of your purchase will go to the club. You get a great set of tires and we get the funds necessary to host great events.

Summer High Performance Drivers Education Event at Talladega Gran Prix
Join us on June 26 and 27th for the Cherokee Audi Club’s HPDE at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway! Our HPDE’s are a great way to improve your skills as a driver and learn the limits of your car in a safe, controlled environment. We’re offering this event at a great price with the convenience of making a mere $100 deposit to reserve your spot. Anyone who registers for the event during February, March or April will only have to pay this $100 deposit, with the remaining balance due by May 1st. Pricing is $340 for students and $190 for instructors.

Concerned about driving your car on the track?
We answer the following questions on the Cherokee Chapter TGPR Page:

  • I’m afraid I will hurt my car.
  • What if I can’t keep up? A track seems like such an intimidating environment.
  • My car isn’t a race car; it’s totally stock, right from the dealer.
  • Am I going to wear out my brakes and tires?
  • Do women come to these events?
  • I’m not a member.

Registration is now open! Learn more about this event at: http://www.cherokeeaudiclub.com/TGPR

  • Clingman’s Dome
  • and more!

Stay tuned as we announce our official lodging arrangements, routes, sponsors and banquet information.

Thanks to everyone who attended Helen Backwards!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

The weather wasn’t great, but the Cherokee Audi Club had a great time driving through the North Georgia Mountains anyway. We started our 85 mile journey at Unicoi State Park in Helen, Georgia. With intermittent rain falling from the sky and gravel, salt and slush on the road, it was a great test of our vehicles. Thanks to quattro and responsible driving, we completed our drive along some of the Southeast’s twistiest (and funnest) roads without incident. Longtime club member, Dirk L. won the members-only raffle for an ECU upgrade package from APR.

We took some pictures along the way: click here to see them all in our gallery!
