    Autobahn Country Club
    3795 Centerpoint Way
    Joliet, IL 60436
    Click here for map location
    **Autobahn Country Club is CT (Central Standard Time)**

    • $5 gate fee per day (bring cash with you)
    • Gates open at 6pm Friday and closes at 10pm
    • Gates reopen at 7am on Sat and closes at 10pm
    • Gates reopen at 7am on Sun and closes at 10pm

    • Tech and Registration opens at 7:30am BOTH days, and closes at 8:15am for the rider's meeting. They will re-open after the rider's meeting. (You must register before going to tech)

    Helpful facts for ACC:
    • You can listen for calls and PA announcements in the Paddock by tuning to 103.7 FM from any FM Radio
    • (a FM radio is very handy to have to listen for calls)
    • Camping is available (see person at front gate for details)
    • Showers are available
    • Race/Pump gas is available over by the concession area, credit/debit cards only.
    • Concession stand open for breakfast and lunch
    • NO electricity available, bring your generator
    • NO bicycles, skateboards, scooters or pit bikes in the paddock. All movement must be done by walking (on NORTH side of paddock).
    • Pets are allowed but MUST be on a leash at all times. Please "clean up" after your pets.
    • TSE will be there for Suspension Service
    • Sportbike Tire Service will be there for Tire Service

    Please note some NEW tech rules regarding GoPro (or similar) cameras:
    • All Gopros (or similar cameras) that is mounted on a motorcycle must have a tether from the CAMERA CASE to a point on the motorcycle. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to be tethered and secure.
    • helmet mounted Gopros (or similar cameras) are NOT ALLOWED at all on track.
    • NO Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) or DRONES of any type allowed at this event.
    • Registration will be held in the South Timing Tower "Media Room" and Tech inspection will be held in front of the Autobahn store. Tech and Registration opens at 7:30am all days, and closes at 8:15am for the rider's meeting. They will re-open after the rider's meeting.
    • You must register first, before heading over to the tech inspection area. If you are riding more than one day, you only need to register and tech once - on Saturday.
    • There is a MANDATORY rider's meeting everyday at 8:15am. Everyone is required to attend, including spectators if they are in the paddock.
    At 9am the Novice group reports to the classroom (after riders meeting) where registration was held and Intermediate goes on track first.

    **Please keep your area clean and do not leave any race gas cans or tires or any other garbage when you leave

    You really can't even ride a street legal scooter in the pits?

    I am not in a position of authority (in other words take what I am about to say with a grain of salt), but my understanding is that if the vehicle is street legal then it is ok (but still no bicycles). But, get a response from STT to be certain. I see others riding pit bikes at STT but I believe they are all street-registered vehicles (license plates).

    Rode Gateway Motorsports Park Sunday in 100* heat and 80% humidity. I've only been doing this for two years and this was the hottest track day I've ever done! Looking forward to the cooler conditions at Autobahn Saturday! This will be my second time doing the South course, have done the North course once (in wet conditions). See y'all soon......

    I'll also be doing that course for the first time as an intermediate. We should meet up and compare "notes" at some point! I'll be on my R3, how about you?

    Although it wil be my second ride on the South course, I'm on a different bike now so it's kinda like starting anew. I'll be on a black and yellow sv650 riding Saturday.

    Any chance for a generator rental on Saturday? Haven't had any luck getting transportation lined up to get mine to the track in time.

    Jeff THANKS for posting that.
    At least you only passed me once. LOL.
    Was my first trip there and the morning wet sessions took a little off the day. Nice afternoon and real pleased the rain held off.
