Thank you Andreas for posting my e-mil to you. At this point we have 30 cars pre-registered to make our Chicagoland Volkswagen Organization event happen on Friday July 23rd, 2004... We can accept up to a total of 50 cars registering for our Trackday at Gingerman. It is going to be a very European Car flavor day at Gingerman that day with all the different Euro-Car Maker's present. Besides our VW's and Audi's present, we have numerous Porsche's of all different types attending along with at least 4 Lotus's (Esprit, Elises) and a friend of mine will be bringing his new Lamborghini Gallardo out for the tracday also... Should anyone have any sort of further question about our CVO trackday, please contact me via my e-mail, phone and/or thru this forum thread. We hope to see some of the Ferrari owners from the Midwest out on track with us, thank would be wonderful Sincerely, Brian Hellweg Chicagoland Volkswagen Organization - Assistant Director http://forums.chicagovw.org/zerothread?id=2661 http://forums.chicagovw.org/zerothread?id=2700 _________________________________________________________________ p.s.

Our CVO Trackday has been cancelled on us. Sorry about this unfortunate news if this has effected anyone that was considering joining in on our Trackday on 7.23.04 Sincerely, Brian CVO - Assistant Director ***CVO Trackday at Gingerman has been cancelled per Gingerman Management***
To Whom It may Concern; It has recently been brought to my attention the topic of discussion that has taken place on this board concerning the cancellation of the CVO summer Gingerman event. I would like to take a moment to clear up any misconceptions that may have been issued here. Gingerman management was well within their rights to cancel our event since there was no contract signed or deposit issued. There were substantial amounts of miscommunication within the CVO board and with Gingerman track management. These miscommunications could have been avoided if there were a binding contract and deposit between both parties but unfortunately that did not take place. I would like to offer my apologies to both Dan Schnitta and Bob Gilroy for any language that could be considered damaging to the reputation of the track or its management. Respectfully Yours; Douglas Hillmann Motorsport Director Chicago Volkswagen Organization
