From 1954–1967, Wilmot Hills Raceway, in Wilmot, Wisconsin, played host to a wide variety of road races.
Built by the Chicago region of the SCCA just north of the IllinoisWisconsin border, the 1-mile circuit at Wilmot Hills was one of the first purpose-built race circuits in the Mid-west. The circuit was built on land leased from a ski resort which, considering the fact that the ski lodge was located next to the front straight, meant that racers enjoyed above-average trackside accommodations. However, in 1967, the resort decided to expand the lodge and so refused to renew the track’s lease, resulting in Wilmot Hills becoming another one of the many American race circuits to disappear.
