Here is a brand spankin' new Kart course that was also designed for cars. It's 40 bucks for ALL DAY. Talk about a test and tune. Located near Shawano, WI (Near Green Bay) Look carefully and you can see lots of dips and elevation changes. There are 3 places where you can get in a LOT of trouble very quickly. I ran there yesterday for about 3 hours. 
The Madison and Fox valley clubs are scheduling events there as we speak.

Wow! 
That's a beautiful course!
I'm drooling all over my keyboard.
Sadly I live too far away to drive it in my MINI and I don't have an extra $20 million lying around to build it in my backyard
Maybe they have a driving school and I can come up next time I am in Chicago or maybe I can send my daughter to college in Wisconsin so I can come visit her.

USA International Raceway is a brand new go-karting facility located in Shawano, Wisconsin, 35 miles west of Green Bay on old Highway 29. Designed by Kenny Venberg, the vice president of the World Karting Association (WKA), the raceway is 30 feet wide and over a mile long, and the fifth-mile oval has 35 foot corners and a six foot elevation change from one side of the track to the other. These facts are impressive enough but they don’t even tell half the story about the track. The track was built on a parcel of land that is part of the Midwest Amusement Park. The park has five concession go-kart tracks, bumper boats, a swimming pool and mini golf. The land where the track sits has gentle slopes and some severe elevation changes like a 10 foot and a 15 foot ravine. After Kenny Venberg designed the track we asked Northeast Asphalt to shape and build the track using the natural contours of the land. To say that they created a masterpiece would be an understatement, from the 1,000 foot flat-out straight-a-way down both of those ravines, to the slightly off-camber corners, to the big sweeper, to the high banked corners, this track is unparalleled. Even Kenny Venberg said that there is not another track like this in the whole country.
