Track Day at Blackhawk Farms Raceway, Rockton, IL May 5, 2005

Come out and drive your car the way it was meant to be driven. Test your limits and your car in the safe, controlled environment of a race track and acquire skills that will provide safer vehicle operation in all driving situations.

We call it 'Driver Education' - it's probably the most fun you will have with your car. Heck, it might be the most fun you can have with your pants on.

Our Driver Education events are casual and first-timers are welcomed! You will only go as fast as you are comfortable with.

Each run group will get plenty of track time! Each group will get four 20-minute sessions, run approximately on the half-hour. There are also two 20-minute instructor sessions, and we would encourage you to ride along with an instructor and pick up a few new tricks, regardless of your skill level!

The cost is $160 for this single-day event.

Convertibles with roll bars are allowed! We are working with the insurance folks to allow un-rollbarred convertibles. Keep checking back for updates!

thanks for the heads up... looks like a nicely structured event. i have 22 seasons of SCCA Nats and haven't been back to BHF since i hung it up a few years ago. i will try to make it.

make sure you have good brakes for BHF as they generally don't get a chance to cool down. it is a fun track and places an emphasis on chassis setup. bring a pyrometer if you want to go fast.
