December 18 Member Social Recap

We had a very good turn out of members for our Member Appreciation Social on Sunday, December 18th at Woody’s Grille in Eden Prairie.  Everyone enjoyed the hors d’oeuvres, desserts and beverages and company of fellow members.  We also collected monetary donations for our Annual Toys for Tots Drive, which is used to purchase bicycles for the less fortunate children in our community.  Thank you to everyone who donated!   It was great seeing everyone — we look forward to our next member social.  Stay tuned for updates!

 

2011 Quattroberfest Recap

Our first annual Quattroberfest Driving School held on October 8- 9, 2011 was a big success.  Nearly 90 drivers turned out for the two-day Driving School held at Brainerd International Raceway. 

First Time, Novice and Intermediate students attended classroom instruction and behind the wheel exercises early on day one, while the Intermediate, Advanced and Instructor groups lapped on the Competition Track.  Saturday afternoon and Sunday all drivers participated in controlled run group lapping on the 3.1 mile Road Course.

The Saturday evening barbecue, held in the Quattro Garage, was also great fun and a perfect finish to day one of driving!

Check back soon for some great photos!

May 21, Spring Fun Drive Recap

Six club members ignored the gloomy weather report and enjoyed a nice drive down to Henderson MN where we had coffee at the Bittersweet Café.  The group picture below was taken at the Firemans Park the appointed  rendezvous spot  in Chaska.    Mark Pladson led the group down through various county scenic byways for the 47 mile route to Henderson.  The weather cleared enough so we were able to enjoy the quiet misty morning drive.  The wet pavement drew a sharp contrast to the spring green leaves bursting out from a long winter and the flowering shrubs popped color into the landscape which still had wisps of fog lingering in the groves and valleys.
