Well Hononegah high school was good enough for Gron4 Photography and Danica Patrick, other than that it is pretty much anytown, USA, except we have a racetrack.   :biggrin:

I've lived on the South Eastern side of Rockford my entire life so I know the general area pretty well. Rockton is in northern Winnebago county, the county ends a few miles north at the Wisconsin border. The county includes Rockford, which up until a couple years ago was the 2nd largest city in Illinois, this brings the counties overall population to around 1/4 Million. The Rockton / Roscoe area is a rapidly expanding area because many people with children have fled Rockford to get out of the Rockford School Disaster....errr....I mean District, also to get out of the Rockford Tax The Crap Out of Everybody District.

The Roscoe / Rockton area is close to Beloit (which is just over the Wisconsin border) and the Rockford / Loves Park / Machesney Park area which has a rather extensive selection of restraunts and shopping - close enough, but not too close. Easy access to I-90 means you can be to the Chicago suburbs (Schaumberg area) or Madison, Wisconsin in about 45 minutes. For racing purposes this area is actually rather centrally positioned with the furthest Midwest events this season (Heartland Park and Hastings) being about 8-1/2 hours away or so but making up for that with all the Blackhawk Farms events and the Road America event being only about 2-1/2 hours away.

You should realise that thats Rick house. He's moving into a better one. One that you can put the wheels back on and move to a new neighbourhood when he tires of that one. :biggrin:
