Autobahn Country Club is in Joliet. I am sponsoring a track day on June 6th.
Still a few spots left. pm if interested.

 

You are in luck. We have a very active Chicago Z track scene. Here is a list of most of the track days in our area.

I recently moved from N.Z to Wi milwaukee area and own a 350z looking to do the same thing.. nothing happens here in Wi so id be happy to travel if i have to...

 

You've got the Milwaukee Mile which holds track days as well as the world class Road America. Plus you can run with us down in Rockton at Blackhawk. Which is just over the border in Illinois. Lots of places to run around here. Come on out this Summer and play!! Here's a pic of a bunch of us at "The Farm" (Blackhawk).

 

Thats a done deal for sure.. looking forward to it no doubt.. i dont mind the short trek accross the line. Just too bad that summer is sooo far away.

 

Some other sites you might be interested in for autocrossing. Both Milwaukee SCCA and WAI hold their events at Miller Park as well as Tri State and Madison hold a couple events there every year. That's about 18 events per year. Milwaukee is also hosting a national tour event this year 7/1-2/06 at Miller Park. Check out these sites

Yeah i saw one of those last year i think...
I went down to the car park and had a look.. You have to join scca
or some thing no?

 

You do not have to be member to participate. The entry fee is higher for non members. Say $30.00 We normally get 3 runs in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Not really alot of track time for the money but a heck of alot of fun. Member ship in the WAI is $30 and SCCA $80. You would get about $10 discount per event by joining with both clubs a wash with SCCA but a great deal for WAI.

I'm confused.

Are you talking about auto X, or track events? They are VERY different. Both are a lot of fun though. I enjoy 2 hours of track time more than 4-10 1 minute laps though. I like using all 6 gears!

 

Both have thier plus's.....
Either one is great but i think just showing up at the auto x would be a hoot..
i spose the next one would be months off anyways.. in any case ill be there..

 

sorry.. i thought tracking and auto-x was same? whats the difference? i guess what i was refering to was tracking... so whats autox?

 

Let me attempt to explain. An AutoX is driving the sh*t out of your car for about a minute in a parking lot, driving around...cones, trying to set a fast lap. Then usually waiting about an hour to try again.

A track event is driving a Road Race course for about a half hour driving the sh*t out of your car. But a track event you will see speeds near 140 mph. Depending on the track. A fellow z owner used 6th gear at Watkins Glen. Most autoX events max out in 2nd gear.....maybe touching 3rd gear.

While I like finding THE limit in 2nd gear, which is a challenge & fun, finding it in 5th is a totaly different thrill.
