Saw this vid today I had to post up not a bad idea but they will be charging allot for this type of service. Its also alot cheaper to get on the Highway and at low traffic hours and have your on testing road.

Yes, a couple of those 'country club' tracks around here. Tend to be 'safer', ie no banking, wide runoffs, short straights...kinda dumbed down. Real tracks are more fun.

I am a newbie here so have just been lurking, but I know the answer to this one...

In Ohio: http://www.mccofcincinnati.com/

There are two motorsports "country clubs" in the Chicago area. I have been to the Autobahn Country Club (http://www.drivefastbesafe.com/) about a dozen times and like the facility. They have two nice short technical tracks which can be combined into a single 3.56 mile 21 turn track.

The other one is brand new and is in Northern Indiana - http://www.prairiehillsmc.com/.

Unfortunately all of these newly constructed motorsports facilities are more technical and slower in nature than the more traditional flowing but higher speed tracks of old (Road America, Mid-Ohio, etc.).

The problem with the Motorsports country club concept is that I would get bored driving the same track every weekend. I do ~30 track days per year so I need the variety. It is also a very expensive way to get on track, there are a lot more economical ways to go fast legally.
