Anyone ever run their car at the Joliet Autobahn?
Here is a video I found online of a Cougar on the track

I did a few searches on you tube for the Joliet Autobahn and only came up with the typical stuff associared with track events. The only older cars I found on YT at that track were some Musrangs and this Cougar. I do like how the Cougar is set up like a Trans Am car.
Ill have to get my car in more respectable performance level. Probably taking them skyjacker drag racing springs off the back of the car and them 28" tall tiresis going to be a great first step to make this 4000 pounder handle.

I think moparmitch has been there. (Maybe he'll chime in) He's got a 70 T/A clone. And the Sandbergs. (I'm thinking their 67 cuda, maybe their AAR race car, too.)

I wanted to go and check out the One Lap of America event they had back in May. But there was a conflict with a family party.
Bill that would be pretty cool to check the Autobahn out. Did you watch the video of that Cougar I posted?
Pretty cool stuff there.
We have a friend of a friend that does some driving instruction there, I'll have to tag along sometime with him.

I got to take my Cuda on a parade lap there a few years ago when I entered it into a car show they had. There was no speed limit, but we were not allowed to pass the car in front of us...

YESSSS!!!! I've raced there with the Midwest Council of Sports Car Clubs (MCSCC), and also the Chicagoland Alfa Romeo Owners Club (CAROC)... the CAROC is a very open-friendly club. I've done hi-speed lapping sessions and hi-speed solo-autocross there. ALSO... I get to be the official "pace car" for the MCSCC's w2w road races on some occasions, including the coming wknd of Oct 6-7, 2012 at the Autobahn... also been pace car at Elkhart Lake Road America. I've been somewhat active with the MCSCC and CAROC just the last 3 years as I've taken my T/A out of hibernation (yes its a detalied clone but highly modified for SCCA E/SP Solo II). Also, there is another good road race track... Blackhawk Farms just north Rockford, IL.
