Blackhawk Farms Raceway Northern Illinois.
Spent a day out at this fine track with my Dad this past Wednesday. What a nice track and quite a contrast compared to what I'm used to here in AZ. Kinda reminds me of a drive through a State Park because it is so scenic. Plenty of great cars and VERY nice group of folks to chat with. If I still lived back there this would be on my list but I'd have to adjust my rowdy driving style accordingly, there's a lot of stuff to hit!

This track is a couple miles from my house, as the crow flies. You can hear the cars from inside on some days. I've never been there...

I never knew about this track. I live in eastern Iowa so it's not too far from me. How long was the session? Did you get a fair amount of driving instruction? $300 seems like a pretty fair price if it's an all-day deal. I'd be interested to hear any other thoughts you'd like to share. Thanks

I've raced sport bikes there a few times. A couple hours north east is Road America. I've raced there as well and Road America is hands down the best place on earth IMO. Front straight is over a mile long.
