Quick Question- I'm going to be moving out to UIUC in about a month or so for grad school. What is there to do in the area?

Things like
-Autocrosses
-Track Days
-Drag Racing
-Whatever

I know I'll probably have a drive to get to anywhere big but I'm really not sure of anything that's out there.

 

I don't know of any track related events that happen there, but Chambana (nickname for the place) has quite alot of places and isn't that small. It's in a good location as it's 2 hours away from Downtown Chicago, 2 from Indianpolis and 2 from St. Louis. Go over to the Illinois Thread and introduce yourself. They don't bite.

 

Oh and what are you going to U of I for?

 

I'm going for my M.S. in MechSE. It's a 2-year program so after that I decide if i want to do another 3-4 for my Ph.D.
