Check out the sticky above for some area 2007 track dates.

South of Chi-town:

Autobahn North & South are expensive; yep. But it's a great facility and setup.
Gateway Int'l - St Louis. But some people are scared of the minimal runoff.
HPT - Topeka, KS. Underwent a multi-million $ redo about 2 yrs ago.
Putnam Park - West of Indy. Hear good things about it.

Yeah I have a huge deadline for work on May 1st, but thankfully a friend of mine is getting married in California that Saturday, so I told work I just had to have a day off to get down there. Booked a flight out of O'hare for 9pm and signed up... Ooops.

Wicked.
This is new to me. I'll add the dates to the sticky in a bit.

Anyone have any experience with this group? All their Autobahn dates fall on a Monday. Wait.... it's a package you have to buy @ $3500! A neat idea, but doesn't really fall into open lapping - so it won't make the sticky.
