We are getting near completion on our track garage. Our facility is located at the entry to the final straight, North Track at Autobahn race track, Joliet, Il.

12 of us share the race garage. We have 4 Vettes owners and are working to convert the rest! 2 Porsche Cup cars, Porsche GT3 & Turbo, 1 Can Am, Shelby Mustang, 1957 Jag XKE, Miata Sprint Racer.

Each member has a double space(with their 4 post lift). We share a common area upstairs, some pics of which are included. We expect to be ready to roll in about 1 month.

Looks like we will be moving our cars in 4/1! There's a lot to do between now and then but we'll make it.

Should be a riot. Will be a hard place to leave at the end of a good track day!

Actually 12 of us went in on this together and built this puppy. Believe it or not, it's on budget! My two partners who ran the construction did a super job!!

LOL That was funny as hell! I agree, this garage is the nicest that I have ever saw and if I owned it I would not do a single thing except just stay in it all the time!
