Where are the twisties in the CHI?
Just wondering if anyone knows of any good winding/rolling roads to drive on that are in the Chicago burbs(preferable NW burbs)? I only know of one really good one but it's all the way down in romeoville and it's kinda a short stretch.

The editor of R&T just wrote about picking up a Porsche GT3 at O'hare and cruising to Road America via Kettle Morain. There's nothing out here in these parts that would compare to the caliber of those roads; plus, you'll have the unfortunate experience of bumping into the fuzz a little too often here.
Check out the thread ..."fastest corner" in the General- people have posted maps of certain on and off ramps (none from here in IL, but it should give you an idea about what to look for) that can really stretch the car's legs.

You need to get involved with NotFWD.com/JGTCA.com. They have Saturday night cruises and have mapped out some of the twistiest areas in the Chicagoland area.
In general NickR is correct, there isn't a lot in N. Illinois. If you get up to Road America, there are some great twisty roads there. Follow County J out of Elkhart Lake in the early morning or during a non-race weekend.
