Autobahn

[Suzy]

I called them and they said there would be no showers until next season.  Just preparing everyone who goes.  :-/

Not only do cornerworkers pick your ass up off the ground, but we make sure your ass is clean too!  ;D

Just so you know...you may now get unwanted offers... :o ;) ;D

IIRC, there's an outdoor shower next to the garage by the pit out of the North course.  I'm sure you could find an able-bodied racer to hold a towel up for you...interesting possibilities...  ;D

If I did, I think I would have to charge money.  ;D Cost of living is going up real fast!! :-*

Let's face it.  Autobahn is not a real "racing" track.  It's a playground for the wealthy.

There is no PA, no electricity, no showers, no spectator viewing.  Not to mention the safety aspect with guardrails between the two tracks (go ahead and crash in S. course turn 13.  I dare ya...).  Combine that with a 1 year old track that has CRAP for a surface right now, and well, it's not a place I look forward to racing next year.

I was riding my bike to the store, saw a guy with Autobahn stickers on his truck.  I told him I worked with CCS, and he was snobby.  Kinda like a "so what" attitude.  I know what you mean.  :-/

Make no mistake.  We are not really welcome there.

This should be an interesting weekend since the turnout will be big due to double points and FUSA.  I'm sure the members will be a little miffed because we'll have to park on both sides of the pit lane.

   And we're not allowed in their toybox, err, umm, I mean their Clubhouse. It's kinda like Caddyshack and we're all gopher-hunting-groundskeeping-Carls. Such is the world of The Gold Coast Chicagoans. (The GCC soap operas; Will Mile's new Modena outrun Buffy's new 911 T? Can Germany's tire manufacturers make a competent piece of rubber for less than $500 a wheel!? Will Keith the Race Director inherit the billions of family refinery fortune and buy out those pesky cheeshead members?) :-X Stay tuned for next season's GCC at ACC. Sponsored by Saks and Gucci on Michigan Avenue.

Will Buffy nail Muffy? Will Miles secret lover Guido blackmail him? Can Keith the Race Director ever get over the loss of his beloved Ferarri F-50?  :o ;) ;D

Don't forget the $30 camping fee.  Let's see, $10 per night to camp on the same piece of asphalt you've been using all day, with a grand total of one flush toilet, no electricity anywhere on the grounds, and no shower other than a cooling station hooked to a garden hose?  What a bargain!

Boy, harsh words for a brand new track...  And yeah, it may be a playground for the wealthy, but how many track owners support purely motorcycle roadracing and no other sanctioning bodies.  I'm sure he/they have bills to pay.  Be glad that there is another track to race on...  Keep slamming the place and maybe you wont get invited back  ::)..

And easy solutions:
1) No showers, get a hotel..  
2) No electricity, buy a generator.
3) Don't like dealing with Miles and Buffy?  Then don't.  Tell miles you can turn his lap times on your pit bike and slip buffy a 10 spot and thank her for last night.  

A track with few ammenities is better than no track at all.  NHRA bought IRP so nothing there, and well, I'm not even going to mention Putnam... So it's a 10 hour round trip for me anywhere... And I'll assume Autobahn is better than Nelson Ledges anyday.

From what I know, the hotels are booked, last time I was there I had a a hard time sleeping from the generator that was running right behind my tent.  And sorry, I don't know who Buffy is.   :)
