Chuck just posted this on another forum and I wanted to NASA RM family to know as well....
We've been having overheating issues that have continued to get worse and last weekend at HPR it was overheated after only 3 laps. I'm financially/emotionally spent and since the car still runs fine on the street we decided that we would just cut our losses and end the season now.
It's been a great time and we exceeded all of my hopes for the car this year. I want to say thank you to Rick Snyder (snymo.com) first of all, without his superior driving skills there is no way that the car could have been nearly as successful as it was. Also I want to thank Avalon Motorsports (avalonmotorsports.com) and AR Design (ardesign.info) for all of their help with the "go fast" parts that made the car as good as it was.
It was a great experiment and really turned some heads and I don't think local racers will be nearly as quick to throw Audi under the bus as a bad track car. For a daily driven street car with 150k on the clock, it really was fantastic against the competition and I couldn't be prouder of the old girl. Thanks for everyone's support and encouragement!

I cannot stress enough how much fun this car is to drive. It was an absolute pleasure to pilot his S4 this season. He has an outstanding car that has come a long way over the years and can easily stand side by side with other sports cars. Thanks for giving me the chance to drive it Chuck! And thanks to Brian @ Avalon Motorsports and Andrew @ AR Design for the tremendous support all season!
