Tracks near Aurora, Il
Going to be in Aurora Memorial day weekend and looking for tracks and shops to check out Friday morning and maybe get some track time with my touring car. Any suggestions for easy driving distance?

Leisure Hour @ Joliet would be your closest track to do NITRO TC, but if you are running electric, you might be 1 of the few that will bring electric TC there. I am sure they will let you run with the gas car but don't expect a hugh turn out for elect....LHR is a dedicated 1/8th nitro on road track.
If you can spend about 45 minutes head toward Ohare airport area....SUNDAY, there is on road electric (mostly) TC racing @ Strictly RC raceway....13.5 TC, RCGT, 1/12th, F1, USVTA...that track is complete opposite to LHR...hardly any nitro. Racing outdoor @ parking lot.

So you can choose between these 2 locations. They both run on SUNDAY only...(for on road). There are couple more tracks in Chicago area...but it will be a long drive from Aurora area.

Well from the website pictures they have a huge outdoor on road track. That is what I want to try. I do not have an offroad car right now as much as I would like too and will not be free except Friday morning. Well if I cant run I will at least get a chance to check it out.
