Glacier Lakes was the founding chapter of ACNA and we have more than 280 members living in Minnesota and North Dakota. Ourmembership is as diverse as the Audiswe drive and we all share a common bond – a passion for the best engineered cars in the world.
In addition to the benefits of the national organization, Regional Chapters providemembers with the opportunity to share their knowledge at social gatherings, driver education events and even technical sessions at sponsor sites. Events and activities available to our members include:
High Performance Driver Education Schools – Students learn the dynamics of their vehicles and implement their education by driving their car at venues such as Brainerd International Raceway under the coaching of a club instructor.
Ice Driving Events – Participants learn the tips and techniques of driving on pure ice on a lake and how to get the most out of their Quattro vehicles.
Teen Driving Clinics – Teen students learn the safety aspects of driving, including how to handle their vehicle in unexpected situations, all under the watchful eyes of our trained instructors.
Social Gatherings – Members mingle and discuss all things Audi at Third Thursday gatherings, picnics, holiday parties, car shows and other social events.
Tech Sessions – Sponsors invite members meet at their service areas and provide expert advice on vehicle care and maintenance.
Fun Drives and Tours – Members take their Audis on some of the most spectacular back-roads of our region, and enjoy a variety of our nearby destinations.
Our members are Audi enthusiasts and brand loyalists; Many own or have owned multiple Audis. Members understand the value of our sponsors and they direct business to those who support our club, verbally promoting and recommending sponsors for their high levels of service and quality, and their support of both the Audi Brand and our members. As a sponsor of the Glacier Lakes Chapter, this valuable endorsement can be enjoyed by your business!
