Welcome! We could use a new track!I vote for on-road Sunday.Some of us work on Saturdays and can't make it to the track.Besides, His n hers hobbies races on Saturdays.While I know that Trackside races on Sundays this would be a shorter commute.

Withrop Harbor is near the Wisconsin/Illinois border. It's about 10-15 miles south of Kenosha.

1225 Sheridan Road, Winthrop Harbor, IL.

I drove by the place on Monday. The strip mall looks new/renovated. Not sure about a schedule...He also stated that he should have pics up in 2 weeks.

The guy who is opening the track has been posting on Chitown RC...
