Steve/Autoxcuda and Trjmn -- The Joilet Autobahn, as has been written about many time on our chat-lines, is a 3.5 mile road course. The track is located less than 4 miles SW of the other Joilet race tracks (banked NASCAR oval, small oval and drag strip). In fact, the Autobahn is a private "country club" only about 15 years new. The track hosts many club events (Hooked-On-Driving, MCSCC, SCCA, NASA, BMWs, Corvettes, Ford events, motorcycles, etc... all done with track rentals for the day and/or wknds, as well as throughout the week Mon-Fri).

Actually, the track is divided into a North 1.5 mile road course, and a South 2.0 mile road course. AVG lap MPH each track ~70.. some cars faster ~80... the straights allow ~100-130 max pending your car's abilities, but then there are typical 60-90 degree turns at the end of each straight... demnanding reduced speeds.

The Chgo Region SCCA Solo season holds most of their ~8 events at the drag strip parking lot... large area, but not really desirable for a monster car with huge horsepower, etc, as the courses are all pylons.. sometimes toght courses, but the lot's size allows some free-flow courses.... AVG MPH ~45-50... max MPH ~60-70 rarely attained.

The Joilet Autobahn is a very clean, well-maintained and overall nice place to go racing.. or to just observe.. and even to take a few laps around pending the event. They also have a separate medium-speed go-kart track, and a designated pylon autocross lot (small and too tight for most big cars).... overnight camping, clean bathrooms/showers, outdoor cafe. Car rentals/driving lessons, etc, are also available.... arrive and drive.

Wknd of Oct 4-5 I'll be competing in the final HSAX (Saturday, 4th), then on Sunday, 5th, I'll probably be the Pace Car for W2W races all day.... COME TO THE JOLIET AUTOBAHN if you can!
