Yes, I race at Blawkhawk Farms . It's a fun 2 mile road course, with speeds up to about 100mph on the back straight. It's NOT a karting track (although they may race karts there too). Very much an intense on-the-edge experience.
I opentrack autocross as a member of the North Suburban Sports Car Club NSSCC . NSSCC is one of the chapters of Midwest Council. Dues are $40 a year + 1 day working the track. The races are about $85 for a day of racing. Can't beat that! Plus they usually have beer parties afterwards. Discounts if you also work the track for the wheel-to-wheel racers.
Actually, they are having free 'Indoor Driving Schools' during the Friday nights of March (2nd one is tonight). It's in the Holiday Inn in Schaumburg. See the NSSCC link for specifics. They have info on Midwest Council, plus racer presos discussing Blackhawk, Gingerman, and other tracks.
The first Autocross (non-school) is May 11. It would be awesome to see some other Contiques at the track. It's a lot of fun. If anyone is interested in seeing some incar video links or other information, just let me know.
I also have some info on Chicago CEG .
LaterSo when are you going? Is anyone interested in maybe have a meet there and a track day? I really want to race on that track. It doesn't need to be till late May or June. It is a thought and fun one at that!
peace
