Default Vette Test in Chicago ??

Does anyone know of some places around Chicago to test/race my Corvette? I know about the Route66 Corvette Show in Joliet. I'm looking for a place to frequent often. I've been taking matters in my own hands flying down Lakeshore Drive, Dan Ryan, I55, I290, Kennedy, etc. I need a place where I don’t have to worry about the Law Boys. Plus with all the construction and terrible drivers around there is no room to run anywhere. Please Help! I'm in need for some open and curvy roads.

Paul :mad

How about 90 west towards rockford sometime in the afternoon. After you pass Hoffman Estates, and Lake in the Hills, the highway really opens up with visibility for miles. Just make sure you have a good radar detector and keep your eyes open.
