Blackhawk Farms Raceway: Where Speed Meets the Trees (Hopefully Not Literally)

Tucked right on the Illinois-Wisconsin border, Blackhawk Farms Raceway has been serving up high-speed thrills since 1967. This 1.95-mile, seven-turn circuit—designed by local racing legend Jerry Dunbar—delivers a mix of flowing corners and technical sections that’ll keep you grinning inside your helmet.

Keep an eye out for the occasional turtle crossing, and maybe don’t test the structural integrity of those big ol’ lining the track.

Location Notes:

• 🏁 Twisty Fun: 1.95 miles, seven turns, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting

• 🍔 Stay & Play: On-site café and camping so you can crash in a tent, not in Turn 1.

So, pack your leathers, say a quick prayer to the traction gods, and come see why Blackhawk Farms is my Midwest favorite.

Just remember: if you’re seeing a turtle mid-session, you’re either way off line or setting a lap record way slower than you think.
