Jules Kart Raceway Wilmington, Illinois is also open for speedway practice every Sunday. Only a $20 fee (Note: track will be closed Sunday, April 22). The July 16, 2000 session of the I Slide Speedway School at Jules Kart Raceway, Wilmington IL, was a great Sunday. We had a very diverse group that also turned out to be very talented. The weather was beautiful and the riders got a lot of track time. We rode from 11:00 am to 5:00 PM with a short lunch break. All riders received a video of their rides (we try to tape every lap.) They also got a certificate of achievement and a certificate from Bell Helmets for a discount on a new helmet. He keeps the classes small so everyone gets a lot of personal attention and feedback. Group shot from left to right: Dave Kilkenny, Eric Miller, Scott Lutz, Scott Johnson, Andy Delimat (chief instructor), Bill Couvellis, Greg Comstock (principal). The individual pictures are Bill Couvellis, a dentist from Chicago who owns a Rotax, in the white jersey, and Eric Miller, a trials rider.
