February 14, 2010 Ice Driving Recap

It was another fun day on the lake! We had a beautifully sunny winter day, which didn’t give way to the wind and icy snow until the event was just about wrapped up. 26 drivers came out to participate and a number of spectators stopped in throughout the day. Thanks to the fresh, deep snow almost everyone wound up taking a turn (or two, or three..) in the snow banks. Thank you to our own Rick Grothe for his towing services — he definitely had a busy day.

Sorry folks, we had a glitch in the lap timing program so those of you who were on the course right after the lunch break might not have timed laps. There were also a few eager drivers who didn’t wait for the thumbs-up before heading out (we can only track five vehicles at a time.)

Here are the timing results:

January 31, 2010 Ice Driving Recap

It was a cold but sunny day on the ice for our combined adult and teen event. The ice was extremely slick, creating quite a challenge as well as some good fun! We had nearly a dozen teens come out to sharpen their winter driving skills. It was great to see everyone progressing throughout the day.

Michael Haggar earned fastest time on non-studded tires. Josh Jutting in his Del Sol with chained front tires took second best time of the day, and Jack Enos took best time overall in his GTI with studded tires.

Thank you to everyone who participated and special thanks to our crew of instructors and volunteers who came out to lend a hand.

Timed results are below:

August 21, 2010 Teen Driving Clinic

Registration is open for the Teen Driving Clinic on Saturday, August 21, held at Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount, MN.     

Driver Registration Helper Registration

The Teen Driving Clinic, presented by the Glacier Lakes Quattro Club, is the perfect place for the teen driver to have fun and improve your driving skills at the same time.  The driving clinics, held at Dakota County Technical College, are designed to help you improve your ability to control a vehicle in both normal and emergency situations.

The all-day school is a combination of classroom and driving exercises. You have a personal driving instructor who will coach you throughout the day as you participate in exercises to practice techniques including safe braking, accident avoidance, driving on slippery roads and reacting to over or under-steering a vehicle. Each student driver has an instructor in the car at all times to advise, praise and coach.

The cost per student is $149.  Our wonderful local sponsors, Carousel and Maplewood Audi, are once again offering a $50 rebate (one rebate per student/per year) with proof of program completion.  This brings the final cost down to only $99.    

Registration is available HERE.  You will be taken to Motorsport Reg.com (MSR) and may need to create an account if you don’t already have one. We have a partnership with MSR for event registration.  Feel confident that your information is secure.  A parent or guardian must accompany teens under the age of 18.  Parents, please be sure to register as a helper (no charge) to be included in the headcount for food and beverage. 

You do NOT need to own an Audi or be a member of the Audi Club of North America to participate.

For more information, go to the Teen Driving Clinics information page.
