Saturday May 11

Saturday morning the racing action kicks into full swing at Autobahn Country Club.
The Heidts Road Course portion of the event takes place on the North course. This course is a 1.46-mile, 9 turn, adrenaline factory. A full day on the road course assures everyone plenty of track time.

The Autocross will allow drivers to test their skills against the clock and the challenge, cone designated course. Key to this event is a driver school that drivers can attend if they are one of the first 20 to sign up for the Heidts Performance Car Challenge. Autocross racers are opt in for this school which will be conducted by professional race drivers. There is no extra charge for this instruction which will help both beginner and novice racers get the most from this great opportunity.

Speed Stop Squared Challenge, sponsored by Wilwood is an exciting event, as drivers test the limits of acceleration, braking and driver skills all at the same time! Mirror image courses pit racers head-to-head as they accelerate in a short drag racing before heading back towards the start through the slalom course to stop in a designated "stop box." Hit a cone and the time penalty could be severe.

The Heidts Performance Car Challenge will also include a Car Show showcasing some of the most beautiful automotive craftsmanship on the planet. Awards will be given to the winner of each class, and our team of judges will select the Best of Show along with an Editors Choice class as determine by the editorial staff of the magazine. The entry fee is only $25 and includes three parade laps around the track just to show off.
