+4 for Trackside. From Skokie it takes me about an hour and quarter to get to, in my opinion, the best for electric indoor offroad. Leisure I think is too big for electric offroad and until someone opens an indoor offroad track closer, which seems like it wont happen anytime soon, I'll stick to the ride to Trackside.

Within 3 Hours of Chicago to the south you have RJD in Lincoln, IL that runs on Friday night and Dewey's RC that just opened up in Springfield that runs Sunday.

Trackside to bolingbrook is an hour 20 if you're going 90+. Buy a Valentine one and shave 40 minutes off your ride.
Great racing up there but be prepared to be home after 2am most race nights. The latest was 4:15 am in late Nov. Racing til 2:30 am was awesome though. A true test of focus when your eyes are closing on the driver's stand.
