[200q20v] Trip Report: QCLUB at Road America 2001

[WARATAP at aol.com]

I'll chime in with Scott on this event being an opportunity I have had to 
miss for far too long.  Definitely one of the best tracks I've been on -- 
especially for a long track (4 miles).  If you've got the power, you'd better 
have the brakes ;-)  If you want to get an idea of what Scott is talking 
about, check out the RA homepage, complete  with map and cockpit's view video 
from what appears to be a cart racer:

I must admit that I have never been so happy to have a dremel after spending 
four hours on a Sunday trying to track down a 14 mm x 1.5 Die around town to 
repair two messed up wheel studs. Had I not been able to repair these, I 
wouldn't have run on the track, though I probably still would have made the 
trip.  I absolutely had a blast and want to thank all who helped make this 
possible, including Dave Hackl who kept on pestering me as we picked up his 
'new' 930 Euro and Scott J. for reinforcing the point.  Of course, Larry and 
Mary deserve praise for putting on such a well run event, as does Mike 
Fisher, the Andersons, and all the other 'senior' Quattro instructors and Jim 
Blau for his tech inspections.    

Considering the number of cars, the rate of attrition was quite low and 
thankfully no one got hurt.  It seems every time I wanted to take pictures it 
was time for another run group.  Of course, talking with our fellow 
quattrophiles was more interesting anyway.
