Join Autobahn Country Club just outside Joliet and race to your heart's content on a terrific 4 mile track. Email Shawn Young at Laps.com to explain how to do track days with him.

Abefroman your're right, how about around Lake Geneva, WI? P.S.
To join Autobahn is a $35,000.00 deposit plus monthly; Sean's group is way cheaper.

It's http://www.lapsincorporated.com/ HIGHLY recommended, most cost effective way to get on the 'Bahn, every time out there with the LAPS club is on the full circuit.

I am also a member at the Autobahn Country Club, having a track like this I can go drive on any time I want is fairly addictive.

(there is an annual fee, not a monthly fee after the initial fee to join... is it up to 35k now?)

Thanks for the tips. $35k is rather harsh but i will do some investigating. Was hoping there would be some non-track roads for Sunday drives but doesnt seem to be the case.

ps. - thats a pretty bad *** car you got there Jimmy. I am sure if I had that, well, I would be dead. Hence my Targa.

Man, if there was a private track in the Seattle area that I could join, I would join in a heartbeat. What better way to improve as a driver?

Plus that initiation fee and yearly fee is cheap compared to most golf clubs!

Crystal Lake is OK, if you head northwest of here there are some KILLER freshly paved roads. Have fun getting out here though.


Sheridan is a GREAT drive don't get me wrong, I do it all the time coming home from school (NU) but your lower back will hate you in a porsche.
