[FRANKTHETANK]

AMS Track Day Schedule and Registration For 2008

AUTOBAHN COUNTRY CLUB
JOLIET, IL

This year we are trying something a little more conventional. We are going to announce all three track days at once and give those die hards out there a chance to sign up for all three at a discounted Rate.

The Schedule will go as follows

Monday April 28th Full Course - $245.00 (150 Total spots)
Tuesday June 17th South Course- $200.00 (90Total spots)
Sunday September 14th South Course - $225.00 (90 total spots)

Register for all three events for $595.00

THIS IS OPEN FOR ALL CARS

Some nice things about the AMS track days:
• We will have over 15 instructors on site to help you polish your skills
• There will be a FREE Driving school for the beginner and Novice groups
• AMS will be supplying a free on site technician for any small repairs / diagnosis
• All registrants will receive a free AMS T-shirt at the track.
• You will receive a track day packet in the mail outlining the flag descriptions, Schedule and course overview
• Above all AMS track days are fun and safe. We offer sessions ranging from First timers to dedicated lap dogs

To sign up for the event please call Frank here at the shop. He will place you in your run group and take your track day payment. He can be reached at 847 709-0530 Extension 2017


With that said let’s get down to the Safety and equipment points:

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD BRAKES!!!

A quick note to everyone that signs up. we are placing you in a run group based on your experience not how fast your car is or how fast you THINK you are. This is a fun track day. Just because someone is faster than you in the straights does not mean that you are a faster driver.... it simply means your car is quicker. Getting put in a class that is too high for you will only slow down the other drivers in that class or worse...push you beyond your limits. Please trust us in our decision on what run group to put you in.


Basic AMS Track day rules
• four wheels off will END YOUR DAY ON THE TRACK!
• two wheels off will end that Session
• the second time you go two wheels off will END YOUR DAY ON THE TRACK
• The first session for beginner and novice will be a parade group/ on track classroom session
• there will be a ZERO TOLLERANCE RULE on ALL RECKLESS DRIVING

I'm planning on being at all of them

...just not sure which car I'll show up in (it depends on if I get a seat installed in the spec miata for students or not)

I might show up in the g20t or my boyfriend's american muscle mustang which has 2 seats

[FRANKTHETANK]

about 2 1/2 months away from the first event and still plenty of spots open.

[FRANKTHETANK]

About 4 wheels off

Realize that this rule is not set in stone. We use our discretion to decide weather or not you should be sent home for the day. If there is an outside variable (dirt/oil/avoiding a crash) we are not going to send you home as it would be understandable. I've had people go four off on mulitiple occasions at our track days, I dont think we've ever sent anyone home for it though. If you have a valid reason, you'll be ok. If we see someone out there driving recklessly, they're going to get flagged in regardless; and if they go off, they are definitely getting sent home. We want everyone to have a good time, but not at the expense of someone getting hurt.

14 days away, still plenty of spots open.

Seems like many are getting a slow start this year.

The September 14th event is quickly approaching.

[FRANKTHETANK]

11 days away. If you are going to attend a track day, this is the one to go to. We have a rather low turn out, so that means tons of track time and open track for participants!
