There will be copies of the latest “quattro quarterly” for all attendees. An Audi Concourse d’Elegance, Judges Frank and Pete who drive two of the cleanest Audis around will help determine whose Audi is best-detailed (prize a can of wax). A raffle for two R8 sport cars RC models, (sorry about that) a Sportsline Teddy bear and folks can purchase chances to win some historic ACFL signage for garage or man cave decoration. This is not just a race fan event as there should be something for the entire family so drop by, check out the dealership and of course the Audis as they race into the night. In addition, for the kids and those who are kids at heart, plans are in the works to have a driving simulator. 
 
We will also have as a special guest, Dr. Jim Norman, driver of the APR Audi R8 Grand-Am who will be giving a presentation at 11:30 on Audi Racing in the US: An Update on the R8 LMS Grand-Am. 
 
Attached is the E-invite so make sure you RSVP by June 12, and we will see you at the races for what will be great day for Audi fans and enthusiasts.

Audi Sales
 
Audi continues their sales increases TY to LY and performed better then the other boys from Bavaria but Stuttgart performed the best with the highest percentage improvement of the three. This is beginning to read like the füßball scores from http://www.bild.de/. Unfortunately, and as is often the case, the devil is in the detail. Only two models had a year-to-year sales increase.http://audiusanews.com/pressrelease/2940/1/audi-sets-all-time-u.s-s...
