The Chicago Chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club has invited the Jaguar Club to join them for their annual Track Day at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, Illinois. BFR is a 1.95-mile private circuit on the grounds of a 216-acre farm located on the Wisconsin-Illinois border. Novices and first timers will receive classroom instruction with some in-car instructors available upon request. Blackhawk Farms has helmets for rent - a balaclava (fire retardant face mask) must be purchased at time of rental. Registration includes 1.5 hours of total track time in five sessions in one of three groups: Novice, Intermediate, Experienced. It is a favorite of SCCA, Midwestern Council, CCS, NESBA, VSCA and other local and national racing organizations. First, go to CAROC.com, the Chicago Alfa Romeo Owners Club website to check out the registration form and process. Click on the “2026 Track Day” short cut for event details, options, pricing, FAQ and more. The CAROC coordinator for the event is Wayne Seeley at vhorizon74@gmail.com. Feel free to contact him for more information and technical advice. Here is the link to the Blackhawk Farms Raceway website for track days: https://blackhawkfarms.com/track-days/automotive-track-days/ . There’s lots more information about ground rules, tech sheet/inspection, helmets, the classroom training and more. It looks a little overwhelming, but it’s not as complicated as it appears.

JCNA sanctioned concours

Sheridan Road from Evanston through Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Lake Forest and other
North Shore suburbs is arguably the loveliest drive in Cook County and displays some of Illinois
finest architecture. It’s a picturesque, winding road with few stop lights, light traffic, and
glimpses of water as it skirts Lake Michigan.

One of the premier concours in the area. The IJC gathers in car club parking to enjoy the show. You must register with the concours in advance for this opportunity.
