A Letter from Autobahn Member - Brad Beall There have been many things written about the Autobahn Country Club over the years, in fact I've written a couple myself. However, usually lost in all the talk about fast cars and fancy garages is what really makes this club tick, and that's the members.
I like to brag about being a member here and I've been singing the praises of the ACC for almost 9 years now. Click Here for Complete Letter |

Defensive Driving for Young Adults – June 2nd
Members, this is a great program for the young adult drivers in your family. This is an intense one day program that teaches safe driving attitudes and advanced defensive driving skills at the only facility in the Chicago area large enough to safely conduct these exercises. Tony Kester and his staff of Professional Advanced Driving and Car Control Instructors teach emergency handling to Law Enforcement, Fleet Drivers and Individuals.
Your young adult will get behind the wheel of one of our Mazda fleet vehicles. We are setup year-round to create winter driving conditions and teach techniques including emergency braking, skid control, crash avoidance, and vehicle familiarity and maintenance. Through the creation of various accident scenarios your young adult will learn the skills of how to handle a car, the importance of awareness and the potential results of distracted driving and excessive speed. You are invited to meet speak with Tony and get behind the wheel of the Mazda fleet to execute several key drills while the young adults are in their morning classroom session. RSVP with Terri Weber @ TerriWeber@autobahncc.com. |
