Drives will kick off Friday afternoon September 23rd from Switzerland Inn.  The Hotel is blocked off for only Audi Club Members all weekend, so let’s fill it up and make this a great event! Please call to reserve your room for check-in on 23rd and check-out on 25th. Parking and staging drive groups can be tricky for this location.  Once drive groups are assigned, those drive groups will be color coded to park together.
