Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Prairie Hills MC

[LtWacko (LtWacko]

My fault for the late posting.  I didn't think to post it here until  last 
minute.
 
Best track times use to be with the BMW and Porsche clubs, but it is  
changing.  With the every growing mainstreaming of autosports, smaller  
interest 
based clubs are renting track time.  With the proximity of the new  track to 
Chicago (20 min south of Merrilville, IN/1hr 15 min from downtown  Chicago), 
you 
can expect track events 7 days a week, major clubs and member  events getting 
priority on the weekends.  A little info for those that  don't know about 
Prairie Hill, the track is 6.8 miles long making it the longest  in this 
hemisphere. 
 It can be divided into four tracks that can run  simultaneously.  3600 
different track configurations can be made using  various access roads.  We 
already 
have a simulator of the 2.4 mile  track configuration running.  You can take 
it for a test drive at one of  the presentations.  It was also at the Chicago 
Auto Show recently.
 
Anyway, next event will be at Fox Valley Motorcars on April 3rd.  If  you 
would like an invitation or more info regarding membership, please drop me a  
line.  If anything, come for the free alcohol while the local gendarme wait  in 
the lot next to the dealership (yes, we were surrounded by three of  Westmont's 
best.  I guess the pair of Lambo's, handful of Porsche's and the  usual list 
of Bimmer's, Audi's and Ricers, they figure they are gonna catch  somebody!

Darn it  I just read this...

OK I am in the Chicago area and want to head out to  a track at some point
this spring, just spent the evening putting the  summer tires on and changing
the oil.  Need to get some new brake  pads, rotors and fluid and should be
good to go.  Who runs the best  track weekends in town anyhow?
