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!

Hi Lugnut (aka Jonathan).
I might be attending this HPDE instead of the June 2nd one.
Everyone who lives near the area should check out one of these schools. I've never been to one but people rave about them. Jonathan is also a great guy.

Is it going to be an actual school broken up into sessions? Or is it just an open track day?
I've been to 2 different schools at Blackhawk and it is an absolutely great place to go to. But, I sure would like someone who knows what they're doing to show me the line, etc., as it will be my first experience here in a rear wheel drive car. :D
