Default Re: Drag strip/Race track Dundee Illinois area

Built in 1958 to promote growth in the Carpentersville area, 40 miles northwest of Chicago. The original track was 3.27 miles long with a variety of turns and elevation changes. Its signature feature was the Monza Wall, a 180 degree steeply banked turn that led onto the 4,000 foot main straight. The track closed in 1970 because of financial reasons. The track is now a forest preserve, nature area, recreation area called Raceway Woods. For more info:
