I want to try an autocross at Blackhawk farms in Illinois...
Anybody raced there? I attended one last summer and it looks like a lot of fun. What do I need to do to get started? Is there a class? I have a Simpson helmet from 2004, is that still good? Thanks.

I missed most of last year . But try Midwestern Council . They will be there five or so times . The schedule should be out by now .
2010 snell helmet
Easy tech , Lots of knowlegable people to help you find the best class to run in .
Two drivers schools a season . Coaches available

That was exactly how I got started in all this back in 92! I had some of my greatest times with MC. I miss them and Blackhawk quite a bit. They should be having their indoor school in March and that is where you should start. If you need any help pm me.

Midwest council is best way to start. Great program and great people. Took my new GS there last year as a novice and am now hooked. Looking forward to next season.
They have an ax school at the beginning of the year.
Check their website and join one of the clubs.

I started with Midwest Counsel last year well. Love it and Blackhawk is their home track. You can bet as long as buying a house doesn't send break my bank you'll see me out there.
