Hooked On Driving - Great Lakes region introduction -

rexrcr · 05-04-2009, 05:37 PM

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Hello from Kalamazoo, Michigan!

Signed on with Ken as a sponsor of the site after Barb Adams with Windy City highly recommended Euroteknik to me.

Little background on who we are as it may appear we've popped out of nowhere:

I am your humble host, Rob Schermerhorn, for seven Midwest opportunities for you to expand your relationship with your loved one (and perhaps your spouse too), your car!

I'm a Chicagoan and lived here for 38 years, moving to Kalamazoo in 2002 (and miss the city but it's all good). I worked with Bruce Nesbitt in '89, Prather Racing in '90 and Rick Mancuso's Lake Forest Sportscars from '91 -'00.

It's been fun chatting with many folks this past month as we all seem to know the same enthusiasts in and around town over the years.

The faces you'll see at our events are likely to be familiar as we're looking for qualified driving coaches and many come from Audi, BMWCCA and PCA.

Look for us to be at Autobahn every month and at as many other circuits as y'all would like to drive.

Here are our upcoming events in the Great Lakes area:

Inaugural event at Autobahn North Circuit, Thursday June 18, presented by Roush Performance. We’ll not only have a Roush Mustang there and the local representative, we will draw for an opportunity to win a case of Roush Synthetic motor oil blended in cooperation with Valvoline, a $100 retail value.

July 9 (Thursday) Gingerman Raceway, South Haven, MI
July 16 (Thursday) Autobahn
August 10 (Monday) Autobahn
August 17 (Monday) Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI (immediately following the American LeMans Series pro-race weekend)
September 10 (Thursday) Autobahn
September TBA

As you know, registration is easy at ..:: Hooked On Driving ::... Sorting by region is easy too. Once your logon and password are set one time, the process is a couple minute affair.

We have a $40.00 referral program to encourage spreading the good word (detail on our registration page).

Visit our Trip Planner feature for more information on Autobahn Country Club and surrounding area for hotel, food and fun activity information (like there’s a cool water park 10 minutes drive from the circuit).

Call or email with questions.

Best,
Rob Schermerhorn

Well....I consider Kalamazoo neutral territory, but me welcoming you to the site is contingent upon your answer to: Go Blue or Go Green?

lol j/k

Welcome to the site!

Probably doesn't help that my wife is from Ohio...
This photo may give a hint to an answer.

Welcome aboard.

I'll pass this along to the crew I usually go tracking with. Hopefully we'll be able to make it out to at least one of your events.
