Audi Club North America Board of Directors News Release

To better serve our members, The Board of Directors has decided to improve our annual communications with you.  In the past, the Board provided a basic report in the form of a review of the year at the annual National Frank Beddor High Performance Driving School.  Unfortunately, only a few members are able to attend the event and therefore the annual meeting.

Welcome to the newly redesigned Audi Club website.

At the moment you should find that the website works exactly as before, although a few of the menus items have been consolidated or moved around slightly. We've also moved to a new version of the software that runs the website, so it is possible that you may find some functionality that is slightly different. If you experience any problems or bugs, or discover missing pages or files, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . 

While the functionaly of the website is the same as it was, we're hoping that the new software will allow us to bring back the protected Members Only area in the near future as well as adding other functionality. 

Due to ongoing issues with our move to a new server, we have temporarily opened the "Members Only" pages to general viewing. You will no longer need to log in to view Board of Director Minutes, Bylaws and other previously protected files. We expect this change to be in place until the website software can be updated in the near future. 

Please note that you will still need to log-in to access the Renewal Application and Change Address form. 

If you experience any issue in accessing the files that were previously protected in the Members Only area, please email Matt Daniels at matt.daniels(at)audiclubna.org.

Shell Discussion Boards Online:   One of the features of www.shell.us/livegunkfree, a Web site recently launched by Shell, is a blog by Sam Memmolo, host of “Two Guys Garage” on SPEED and of the nationally syndicated radio show “Sam’s Garage.” Sam’s blog is called “Ask Dr. FuelGood” and discusses vehicle maintenance, general information about fuel quality, and answers questions posed by readers.  It’s a fun read! 

Another key element of this site that we’d like to call your attention to are the discussion boards (http://www.americansforagunkfreenation.com/).  They’re a great place to start a conversation about the things that are important to you, like seasonal needs, maintenance issues – just about anything related to your vehicle. It’s our hope that this site will become a strong community built on engaging conversation.  For that reason, we’d like to invite you to become a member of the discussion boards and participate by responding to existing topics of conversation, posing questions to other members or to Dr. FuelGood, or by creating and discussing topics of your own! 

Paul Rivera interviews Filip G. Brabec, General Manager, Product Planning at Audi of America,  in Valencia, Spain in July of 2008. This is a three part interview - follow the links below to our YouTube Channel for parts two and three.
