Has anyone signed up for the Autobahn Country Club or knows much about it? I have gone to the webpage (www.autobahncountryclub.net) and it does sound intriguing but the price seems high. Not only is the initiation $10,000 but the annual fee is $3,000. I understand that there is a convince factor in there but has anyone spent more on track time than $3,000 a year? This is not including tires, fuel, and all that other stuff that goes along with tracking a car. I am only refereeing to the cost of going to a track.
I have a kart which I can run for $25 all day. Combine that with running the car at a track ($50 a night at Gingerman or ~200-400 for a club day) and you would have to do some serious amount of track time to justify that cost per year. Especially here in the Midwest where we can only run from April (if we are lucky) till October.
Also, does anyone know how the club is structured in regards to receiving the initiation back when leaving the club? In most country clubs they return a portion of the current imitation. I noticed that there is an open house on the 15th of February at the Aurelious in Oakbrook Terrace at 1:00. I may go to check it out.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone knew anything.
