On behalf of these two Lotus groups I'll be coordinating this event with the Audi Club. Basically this arrangement will allow both groups to share costs of the event. ACNA-NJ is a non-profit chapter of the Audi Car Club. All participants will be assigned based on their skill level not type of car.
I don't have time to coordinate a group dinner for the Lotus folks, but if someone wants to for Friday night that would be a good way of meeting other Lotus owners.

About ACNA:
One of the goals upon which the Audi Club North America was founded was the idea that driving skills can and should be improved with practice in a controlled environment. After all, how better to enjoy your car than to be confident that you really know how it will react in all situations? This event will be held at a racetrack due to ample space, no oncoming traffic, plenty of runoff room, and workers before each corner with flags to warn drivers of any upcoming danger. Despite being at a racetrack, the event is not competitive, is not timed, and most certainly is not racing.
Why Attend?
Lessons and skills learned at these events really do transfer to everyday driving, as numerous former students attest to all the time. Many prior students report avoiding accidents thanks to things they learned at these events. Many others report simply enjoying their daily commute more knowing more about themselves and their cars. There really is no better way to improve your skills.
What you will learn at a performance driving school:
* How to handle your car in a emergency situation
* Understanding of braking dynamics
* Increased confidence in the performance characteristics of your vehicle
Beginners will focus on classroom time and exercises prior to on-track lapping with an instructor in the car at all times. More experienced students will focus more on track learning, however every participant will be required to attend classroom sessions.
This is not a racing school, nor is it a competitive event. Anyone found timing laps will be removed from the event.
Students are required to be ACNA members to register. Cost is $44 for 1 year down to $36 for 3 years, and you do not need to own an Audi to join. Membership fees are used to fund insurance for these events and support non-track events for the club.
Sign-up here: Membership Application - Audi Club North America
Edit: We are working to get this requirement waived. You do not need to join ACNA before the event, so please come out to the event and hopefully we will have gotten this waived.
More information & registration will be available here in the next few weeks.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.
