Wilmot Hills was a club track located in Wisconsin, USA, just north of the Illinois border.  It was less than a mile long, with 5 corners.

The track was made up of access roads for a ski hill, and most of the roads remain today.

The track was active from 1953 to 1967, mostly offering driver schools and club races.

I want to thank everyone who has helped with the track, whether with advice, encouragement, or help on files.

The installer is below.  It contains options for low-res files.  There is also a dat, containing all the low-res files, in case you want all of the low res files packaged that way, so that you have a cleaner looking track file.

What an outstanding piece of track making, Mr. Photog !!!

Very fine craftsmanship is evident in this track, with beautiful elevation/camber all around, all of the track side buildings and objects are included to give that 60's feel and of course everything comes together for a life-like atmosphere - a beautiful piece of work.

Thank you for this fine club track!  What a blast to race on in the '66 Can-Am cars.
