The St. Louis European Auto Show is organizing a new indoor karting competition for teams from St. Louis area clubs, families and other groups.

Audi Club Current River Float Trip
Saturday May 10th
7:00 am

Leaves from: Steak 'n Shake - 76 S Highway Dr, Valley Park


Celebrate Mothers Day weekend and enjoy a day of canoeing on the beautiful Current River with your Audi friends.  

We will leave from Steak 'n Shake at the intersection of I-44 & Hwy 141 promptly at 7:00 AM for a 3-hour drive through Salem to Akers, MO.  Our 10 mile float from Akers Ferry to Pulltite will take several hours but should be an easy float due to fast-moving water.  The Current River is part of the magnificent Ozark National Scenic Riverways and remains almost as wild and natural as the day Indians lightly trod the Ozark trails.  

We have arranged for a special 30% discount rate of $32.20 per canoe for Audi Club members.

Camping is available at National Park Services Pultite Campground, For more information and to reserve your campsite, visit http://www.recreation.gov/campsiteSearch.do.  If there is enough interest, we can also drive down together on Friday night.  Just let Jerry know if you are planning to camp.

2015 Audi RS7 Dynamic Edition strutting to NY

The Audi RS7 is already one of the most stylish sports sedans (hatch, wagon, whatever...) on the road today with flowing roof and hunkered down appearance. Now the German automaker is taking that formula even further with the introduction of the RS7 Dynamic Edition at the 2014 New York Auto Show, and the addition of a long list of unique options.

 When it goes on sale early this summer, the Dynamic Edition won't come cheap. Prices start at $146,045, which is $41,145 over a base RS7. The extra money allows opulent additions like Black Valcona honeycomb-stitched leather sport seats, Crimson Red seatbelts and interior stitching, Tornado Red brake calipers with the RS7 logo, Audi's Dynamic Ride Control suspension and a sport exhaust. It rides on 21-inch, five-spoke wheels with Gloss Black accents. Also carbon fiber pieces replace the front splitter, rear diffuser and engine cover.

 The DRC suspension is a late addition to the RS7's options list and comes standard on the Dynamic Edition. It uses three-stage adjustable dampers that are cross-linked and integrated into the driving mode selection and rear differential.

 Of course, the special edition still comes equipped with the RS7's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 pumping out 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed automatic with all-wheel drive. That'll get the big sedan to 60 miles per hour in a quick 3.7 seconds, while the cylinder-on-demand function makes it run as a four-cylinder when all the power isn't needed.
