| New Track opening in Illinois This is a new Alan Wilson (Barber, Gingerman) designed private track that's opened in Joliet, Illinois. It's a private club with membership dues (hmm...kid's college tuition or track membership  ). WERA and STT have dates booked for the 2005 season already. If I only lived closer... Autobahn Country Club

| Re: New Track opening in Illinois Looks awesome.
If I got a membership I would quit my job so I could ride everyday. Hmmm I would probably like to flog a car as well though.
