HPDE at Talladega Gran Prix cancelled
Unfortunately, due to low registration numbers, we were forced to cancel our summer High Performance Drivers Education event at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway. We are currently exploring a few new opportunities and will post any information on the website when it comes available.

Allure of the Automobile
Join us this Saturday, May 22nd at 3:00pm,  as we explore the the Allure of the Automobile exhibit at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. We will enter the exhibit at 3:00 PM, so please arrive a few minutes early to purchase your tickets. Afterward, you’re invited to join us for dinner across the street at Houlihan’s.

LeMans at Quattro
Join us as we cheer on the Audi R15 Plus at the 24 hours of Le Mans from Quattro Restaurant, in Atlanta. Please register if you plan on attending, this way we can reserve enough seating for our group.

Visit the LeMans at Quattro page to register for this event.

Helen Back
Back by popular demand! Last year’s Helen Back drive was such a hit that we’ve decided to return to Helen to explore some different roads!  Helenback 2010 will be on Saturday, August 28th.
We will depart at 12:00 noon, and explore roads north of Helen, including some made famous by north Georgia moonshiners. This drive will be slow and scenic.

Visit the Helen Back page to register for this event.

2010 Petit Le Mans Countdown
The countdown for the 2010 Petit Le Mans ALMS race is underway. This year, Audi Sport Team Joest will contest the U.S. endurance classic “Petit Le Mans” at Road Atlanta on September 26 with two Audi R15 TDI cars. Don’t miss your chance to see Audi Sport’s comeback after last year’s short-lived race.

As valued Audi owners, Audi Club North America members (with active memberships) will receive priority registration prior to the general registration period. As a reminder, last year’s tickets sold out in less than 24 hours. It might be time to make sure your membership is up to date!!! More information to follow soon.

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
