Great Driving Roads Near Chicago?
Living in Washington DC the past 7 years, we've had the privilege of exploring some beautiful Virginia and Maryland country roads within an hour from our home. We will moving to Chicago in a few months and I'm concerned that the only spirited driving I'll have the chance to do will be on some membership-only track.
Does anyone have recommendations for their favorite Illinois roads (or roads close to Chicago)?

I head out to Southwest Wisconsin for good country roads. Get a Wisconsin map. Find towns like New Glarus. Drive around there. Welcome to Chicago. We have some great indy shops. And a great PCA Chapter. Many AutoX events, and DE track events at nearby Blackhawk, Autobahn, Road America, and Gingerman.
