2013 Heidt's Performance Car Challenge

[Bill Howell]

OK guys, this announcement has been in the works since about SEMA, but we want to make it official. The 2013 Heidt's Performance Car Challenge will be one of the American Street Car Series events! How cool is that. Many of you have already been to Autobahn before and we look forward to doing an event there now. The official dates are May 10-12, 2013. We will have registration up hopefully before the end of the year and host hotel information also. Watch for upcoming information about the event and be sure to set that weekend aside. We promise this one will be a large time with some surprises in store. We will see you there.

That's cool. :thumbsup:

[Bill Howell]

Stuart, You gotta come. Fun times for sure. We will register rental cars....:thumbsup:

[Van B]

All years welcome Bill?

[Rick D]

All years welcome Bill?

It better be the Z06 and not the Miata!! :D

[syborg tt]

I'll be there with one of my Camaro's without a doubt !!!

[James OLC]

Bill - you might not have this sorted out yet (or might not be able to say yet) but will this be a "three days or nothing" deal or will the days be individual like RTTC?

I only ask because I know of about 3 cars that will be in the neighborhood but busy Friday and most of Saturday but "free" on Sunday. Assuming that we make it through One Lap...

[protour73]

^^^ that's a great question James!!

I will totally be in for all three days. The last Heidt's event was absolutely awesome!!!! (well for me, most of it was :_paranoid )

[Bill Howell]

Guys, as with all ASCS events, absolutely, we want everyone there. Any year and most all brands...haha I love modern muscle at our events to give us something to compare our older cars too.

James, we are working out the details but probably be like our RTTC and other events, per day pricing. That way those that can only come one or the other don't seem like they double paid. :thumbsup:

For those planning to come, think about coming very early Friday or maybe Thursday afternoon. I can't tell everything right now, but you won't want to miss the cruise this time...:unibrow:

Also, for those that are into carshow only, we have a package for you too. What you think about a one day show and shine with a few track laps added in just for you? :cheers:

Stay tuned, more soon.

Stay tuned, more soon.Dammit Bill, that's a helluva TEASE!!! The track time is the real draw here, but the cruise is fun as hell. In 2011, watchin Stielow behind the wheel of Red Devil, just smoldering the rear hides on takeoff from Heidt's access road was quite the adrenaline rush!!! I don't know how you top that, but I'm sure you're up to the task. :thumbsup:

[dontlifttoshift]

I would love to this to be the first event with the new set up.

Bill, I don't know who you have been in talks with (at Heidt's) but they aren't doing a very good job at promoting this with their own multi-media outlets.

Their Public Relations or Marketing people need to update their website and such to properly get the word out. On the Heidt's website they have a link for the event at the bottom of their home page, still with the old 2011 event information. Nothing on their Blog link on the website, under the News & Events link they still have 2011 events.......and unless it's buried deep I don't see anything on the Heidt's Facebook page either.

:thumbsup:

Agreed - haven't had much luck finding any more info. regarding the 2013 event just old links from 2011. Curious to find out if the 3 days will follow the same schedule from 2011?

Perhaps they are finalizing the rest of the sponsors? Hope it does happen cause I'm in. It'd be great if some of our PT heroes make it as well.

I talked to them guys and updates coming soon. We are waiting on a revised Logo now, but everything is on schedule with the event, plans made and groundwork being done right now. This will be a huge deal this time, and the cruise will be a lot of fun too.

So how long do we have to wait for all of the info? You've intrigued me with the cruise info tease, Bill!!! :unibrow:

Will it be the North track at Autobahn again? I hope!! :cheers:

Oh Scott,
What fun would spilling all the beans at once be? lol
In due time grasshopper, in due time.......
