Tracks around Chicago

[blueshark]

What tracks are recommended around Chicago? Yes, I drive an el cheapo but need to get the speed bug out of my system before I push my luck too many times on my morning commute!

Thanks-in-advance!

Blackhawk Farms (near Rockford)
Autobahn (Joliet)
Gingerman (SW MI)
Putnam Park (Central IN)
Road America (Eastern WI)

BMWCCA is doing a driving school at Putnam Park at the end of September.

Did you end up selling your M Roadster? What are you driving now?

Thanks dekaliber! Autobahn Joliet it is!

Yes, I sold the m-roadster. Now I'm left with my courageous but woefully underpowered civic si. It's a great commuter but damn it doesn't hold a candle to the m.

Shoulda sold the civic

Not sure what Autobahn's public schedule is like, but MVP tracktime had a track day there on 8/7 for I think $250. You should consider signing up for Putnam park next month!

Putnam is a lovely track. It reminds me of a shorter, less challenging Mid-Ohio, but it is still wonderful to drive. The grounds are top notch as well.

Go drive it and have a blast.
