Clubs rent our tracks for racing, driving instruction and social events. Some of the clubs, like the Central Roadracing Association, welcome fans to watch. Others prefer to close the track to the public. Regardless, we value the relationships we have with the clubs that use BIR and encourage this kind of track use. Visit our Web site for more information on the clubs that use the track and the schedule of club events. Competitive road racing has made a significant comeback at BIR with the addition of the 2.5-mile, 13-turn Competition Road Course, a challenging track that allows BIR to offer road racing and drag racing simultaneously. Look to our Event Schedule for a list of dual events. The track is certified by the Sports Car Club of America, which allows BIR to host super-competitive events like SCCA Pro Racing’s Trans-Am Series, the SCCA Memorial Day Classic, the SCCA Jack Pine Sprints and the NASA Midwest Regional. It’s also home to the BIR Performance Driving School. The 3.1-mile, 10-turn Donnybrooke Road Course, which is BIR’s original track, is still in use after a colorful 43-year history of racing. Both tracks are very popular with car clubs and the Central Roadracing Association for its Superbike racing.
