I just competed in the HSR race at the Autobahn CC this past weekend with my GTV and can say that the 3.5 mile / 24 turn configuration that we ran was challenging and suits our Alfa's quite well (however it suited the Porsches even better). I agree with Andy that Elkhart Lake, while beautiful and high speed, is still a course for higher top-speed cars and remains a 3+ hour tow from Chicago, while the Autobahn CC is only minutes away from the convention site.
I would like to think that Chicago Region SCCA and / or a combination of workers including the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs staff could be solicited for the event as long as there wasn't a conflict with the June Sprints weekend.
At Mid-Ohio earlier in the year I liked the way the Alfa's were separated in the Group 3 / Group 8 (under 2 and 2 liter) races, and then having a combined race as well.

Any way you can put it together, though, will be a great time and I'd be proud to enter my cars.
