Still getting wheel hop on the streets. Heard the answer is stiffer diff bushings. But I think either my diff or the passenger side axle is going out soon. Just hope it doesn't take anything else with it.

The most popular track is in SW Chicago suburbs near Joliet, Autobahn. WindyCity BMW club has driving events there, check their calendar for 2013.

The other tracks are Gingerman in SW Michigan near Saugatuck, and in Wisconsin there is Road America, where ALMS series races as well. Porsche holds events at all these tracks as well, and probably the various Corvette and Miata clubs as well. Some of these events are open to all makes/newcomers, you just got sift thru them. There is a track in Indiana near South Bend as well But I cant recall the name.

There was a website covering all these events but I dont have the link, sorry, maybe some others here can help out with some options for 2013.

Now that ive thought about it some, other than the bottom end, does it really matter?
