Has anyone run at both and have an opinion on which is better? We are trying to decide which one will be our next Lemons race (can only do one of the two).

I've run Summit on iRacing. It's ok. Pretty long front straight. Looking at the Autobahn site, that track looks better, and it's in Naples. Do you get the whole Autobahn track? If not, then you might consider Summit

If you get this track, then the choice is clear, IMO

You had Audubon Country Club mixed up with the Autobahn Country Club. We ain't tryin' to see no birds. Although....birds are direct decendents of dinosaurs. Jurassic Park was full of dinosaurs and was the inspiration for the Georassic Park car. So you weren't too terribly far off.

Glad I wasn't the only one confused by the Naples reference. Naples, FL is the only popular Naples that I knew of too.

There's a Naples, IL too but it doesn't look like a very good place for a vacation home. :lol:

Another rear engine V6 powered Metro will be running at Autobahn, so it looks like we're headed there in June.

Are you talking about Summit and Autobahn? Or Summit and Nelson? I've heard that Autobahn is a really nice facility, and a good track.

Nelson's Ledge is a very rough track. I'm sure John was talking about it and Summit.
