Thanks

When I lived in northern Illinois we raced at Blackhawk farms raceway. Not a bad course.

Check out http://www.evoschool.com I've been to one of their classes and found it very worthwhile. I didn't see anything for IL however you may be able to find something close.

Check out the Midwest Region of NCCC (MWRegion.com). We run at Mattoon Airport and also at Rantoul Airport. A little further from Bloomington would be Quincy, St Louis, or Centralia.

I worked out by the old air base in Rantoul and that would be a fun place to go to. I will have to check that one out, it is only about 45 minutes from me. Thanks again.
