    Illinois Racing!

    Who races in or around Illinois ( any racing ), and where do you race? Looking for more local mx tracks and cool places to ride!

    Where you from in IL? There are acutally a lot of tracks here that allow quads to ride. Look on the AMA website under district 17 and you will find a list. I mainly ride/race at LincolnTrail Motorsports in Casey IL, but know there are races in Salem, Byron, and many other places.

    I'm near Elgin, and have found that site but thanks. I just wish I didn't have to drive as far and had more choices but thats Illinois I guess. I like to primarily ride at Byron but am open. I will most likely be racing at Byron Sunday first race with my new suspension, I plan on winning (not cocky just confident). Where are you from, any parks, or trails you like to ride at. I like going down to Badlands, and ride around locally but I usually end up getting chased by a sherrif or a cop. I am starting to find a lot of government funded snowmobile trails that are open in the winter, they probably will let quads use them, but have hard luck finding OHV trails. Any help will be appreciated.

    Right now I am in Champaign, IL at school. Its about an hour or so north of Casey, I normally live in Robinson, whch is about 30 minutes south of Casey, so I live pretty close to there, I ride there a lot, or used to, I broke my foot this spring and havent gotten back into riding hardcore yet. My motor is bein rebuilt right now, otherwise I would be racing.

    What kinda supension did you get? I have TCS all around, havnet ridden on the rear yet, but had the front since last year, I LOVE them!

    I have custom axis all around, with Lonestar full adjustable +2 on the front and a Lonestar Axle. I know it rocks but I am going to have to prove it this weekend! Where do you go to school? I never checked out Lincoln motorsports in person, but am definetly going to. It is a long trip though. I actually still have my motor stock, except a pipe and jet kit, and with the new suspesion, it is underpowered, but at the mx track I will be able to ride with anybody no matter what they do to their motor. Good luck on your rebuild and I will definetly give you a hollar when I ever plan on traveling into southern IL. If you have never been to Badlands in Attica IN, its worth the trip.

    I am going ot school at the University of Illinois, which doesnt give me much time to ride

    Lincoln Trail Motorsports is an awesome track, only one problem is that to just go ride you gotta be a member and that costs 50 bucks a year. You can race without being a member, but cant practice. However, the 50 bucks is worth it since they have something like 400 acres of trails and stuff like that, they got an MX track, a TT track, a "euro" grass track, a couple flat tracks, plus the trails which they run hare scrambles on, its a nice place, well run and well kept up.

    I have been to Attica once, and wasnt really all that impressed. To be honest, I HATE climbing hills, absolutely am terrified of it. The first time I ever rode my 300ex, my friends had me at this place that I had to climb hills or I was stuck there! So, I did it, but I ended up flipping twice, rolling back dwn once, and it scared the ***** outta me! So, I dont do that, and thats all they wanted to do at Attica. It's a nice place if you like that kinda hting, but give me an MX track anyday

    Rhino99, thats cool I know a couple people who go there. Usually I can't get too many people to ride with me because they say I'm crazy and going to get somebody hurt, but I never hurt anyone else, myself plenty of times. Even my dad, who is a pretty young guy thinks I'm crazy, it's a combination of craziness and intelligence I hope. But we'll see next year when I run all 13 GNCC races against the true top dawgs, Ballance, Yokley, Smiley,ect I will either be put in my place, or make my own place! I will try to make a trip later this year to check that track out, also has a park too huh, cool! We will definetly have to hook up, and I'll check out your local competition. Have fun in hot chick land, I mean school. Hey you know a hot blonde chick who is a sophmore, name is Sam S. just curious, talk to ya!

    I raced on my TCS fronts one time, I did ok, It was only my 3rd race on my R, so I ran midpack, I think 6th of 13 someting like that. I have ridden on the track with them lots of time though, and I love them! CANT bottom them out, its impossible. My frame actually hits before the shocks bottom!
    They helped out so much its amazing, best investment I have made, thats for sure. Dont know about the rear yet, as I said, havent even ridden with it yet, but I am sure its awesome as well!

    As far as blonde sophomores named Same S. dont know her, but if you wanted to introduce me, that would be great

    HAHA

    IL Tracks

    Just thought I'd let you know there are tracks in Mendota and Joliet that allow quads. Geneva, WI also allows quads.
