But do not wait too long as this event will sell out.

Any of you guys headed up to RADE or "Autobahn" on May 1st?
I am signed up to do the Autobahn in Sept., I think the 18th.

So, is the RADE the same as the Autobahn??

Note to calendar. April 11th. It's snowing.

Yes. I said it's snowing here in the Chicago area

Yes. It is time to use that C4S and see if the four wheel traction was worth it!

R.A.D.E. stands for Road America D.E.

It takes place the end of May over Memorial Day weekend. It (and TRAC the other Road America DE) are the 2 best DE's that the Chicago PCA put on IMHO.

I'm in Deerfield. I have a friend that just drove Autobahn CC and raved about it. He took his 996 Cab, with tip and siad it was awesome.

I drove the Autobahn CC track a about 6 times last year. Excellent track especially if you get to do the combined track. That being said, Road America is still my favorite midwest track.

If I sell my Porsche and buy an M3, will I still be allowed to participate in the PCA DE events? Just wondering, because I would miss the Porsche crowd...

As long as you are invited by a member you can participate in most events. However events like RADE and TRAC at Road America are Porsche only.

Don't do it.....friends don't let friends buy M3's...........jk
