Thanks for spreading the word!!
Sure thing...there's no tracks whatsoever open to the public in Chicago proper or even in close by suburbs, so the next best thing is to help promote the tracks that do exist that we city folk can get to easily. Your place is an easy drive if it's not rush hour. It's about the same amount of driving time as heading to Leisure Hours Raceway or Intense Raceway Park, from Chicago.
I know there's alot of people here who love racing. And for those who are just bashers and have never been on carpet, if they wanted to I think you rent out Mini Coopers for your Saturday race nights. Is that still happening?
Mini Coopers are a GAS to race on carpet. They are also very affordable compared to 1/10th sedans in being able to compete with others at a race. You don't need to throw a ton of money at them to be competitive. Keeping TCS rules really helps out. You can get that thrill of racing alot cheaper....
Here's an approximate 10MB WMV file of mini's racing in Europe:
