Poker Run 2010
8/28/10 - 8/28/10 Location: TBD
Come and join us for a fun day of driving, exploring, and camaraderie with fellow Audi drivers on a fun drive through the wine growing regions of Solano and Napa counties.  Drivers and their navigators will follow simple rally instructions that guide them along scenic and challenging roads of the Suisun Valley, lower Lake Berryessa, and east Napa Valley areas. 
 
Rally teams will collect playing cards along the way from designated locals and answer questions from their observations along the route. In addition, lunch will be provided along the way.   The Rally will end in Calistoga where the teams will be scored, trophies will be awarded and we enjoy interesting conversation with our fellow Audi enthusiasts.
 
The day promises fun, filled with camaraderie, and it offers an opportunity to learn more about making our cars a bit more competent and special. 
Rallyists will meet for final registration at 7:00 AM at Big O Tires in Benicia, (415 Military East, Benicia, CA 94510 ), where we can enjoy coffee and a breakfast pastry while receiving a short tour of Big O’s fantastic new facility. The VIP Performance Group of Big O stores provide more than just tires from premium manufactures of Pirelli/Michelin/Yokohama, and quality wheels from HRE/BBS/Advan Racing/Enkie. Their well trained technicians can also install quality brakes from Hawk, Stoptech, Powerslot and others, Borla exhaust systems and performance suspension systems from Eibach.  In addition they can do high tech performance enhancing alignment for the track enthusiast using equipment that many dealers do not own. 
For this event, Big O staff members have offered to give us a brief tour of the facility before they open for business and perform a mini-tech inspection of tire pressure and wheel torque check for all of the rally cars.    Big O is a major sponsor of the club, and provides considerable tire tech support at all of our track events.  This will be an opportunity to see what they can do for us by showing the type of services they have to offer and an opportunity to sign up for their VIP program discount if you have not already done so. 
For more information, contact the event master Pat O’Neal at pat@audiclubgoldengatge.org
