Anyone Autocross in Chicagoland?

Looking to get into doing some autocross after the winter. Was wondering if anyone belongs to the BMW CCA or SCCA Chicago clubs, etc.

I belong to BMW CCA but I've never autocrossed with them yet. I've been just spectating a few events this year. Actually many of my friends from golfmk6 forum (Chicagoland area) are doing auto-x with them. My previous car was a 2010 VW GTI, BTW. Many of them do not have GTI's anymore but they're still doing those events with BMW CCA in their new rides.

Anyway, I'm planning to take their auto-x school before the season starts and then attend 2-3 events.

Awesome thanks for the info! Yeah I did the BMW Ultimate Driving Event and that was the first time I'd ever done an autocross (albeit a dummed down version). It was so much fun, now I NEED to do it next season.

I'll probably join the BMW CCA and attend as many events as I can. Hopefully we can link up!

For sure.

I'll take Car Control Clinic. It will be probably in April.

Auto-X chicagoland

Hey everyone I'm new to the forum and (new to BMW) came via Porsches, 370z's and Mustangs. I have autocrossed them all and done a few HPDE days. Looking forward to taking the m235i out on the Auto-X course. Haven't run with the BMW CCA guys but have done many events with the Porsche club. They do 4-5 Auto-X a year and all cars are welcome. I'll be at a few of their events this year, they should have the schedule up soon.

I'm a member of the Milwaukee SCCA and did track days at Milwaukee Mile and Road America, but no autocross.

If you become interested in track days Laps Inc. is a good option in your neck of the woods. Full track at Autobahn = heck yeah!
