Chicago Suburban Area (Will County)

[Sinist3r]

Trying to see if anyone is near the Joliet, IL area. I'm based out of Lemont, but looking to see who is in the area. There's a track outdoor/indoor in south Joliet near Chicago land Motor Speedway (Leisure Hour Hobbys). Let me know in this post or PM.

Hi guys, I'm new to 5th scale and I was wondering where do you all run your cars at. I am in the south chicago suburbs 30 minutes from joliet. I just got a KM baja 5T and I have a Rampage XB. I ran my XB last year once at the scrap yard in Monon, Indiana, but looking for somewhere closer.

I run in local areas around my home town in Lemont. My son and I hunt for spots to run in.

I have been running my 5T at the forest preserves in Midlothian, IL off of Pulaski and 157th. I have yet try to go to forest preserves off of Cumberland & Irving park road. let me know if anyone want to meet up one of these weekend, looking to meet other 1/5th scalers.

I'm right down the street we use to jump our bikes at the pits in those woods. I wonder if there still there? It would be a good bash spot.

 

[OneBadR1]

From what I understand it is still there! I haven't had a chance to check it out!
