I think it was always a carpet wholesale place but back then (91-92) it was a neat little oval track that they used to put pvc pipe under the carpet to make jumps. I remeber a ton of Tamiya and kyosho trucks used to run there. And when it was just on road, it was mostly the rc10L. Good times.
There was also a track in Lombard that used to run at the Holiday Inn (IIRC) on Finley and roosevelt. -the hotel is now a different name. It was held in one of the conference room and used to run a ton of different classes, but the cool class was the running with the Kyosho optima mids. There was also a slot car place around lombard too.
I sometimes drive by the carol stream location and think about stopping in (it's still a carpet place) and asking about racing there. I'm sure it's all filled as it is a warehouse.
