I agree completely with Warren about the autocross location at any
event - I'd gladly sacrifice a drive to get to quality lot. How many
hotels are there with a lot big enough for an autocross that will also
be empty enough to run one?
We will try to secure a lot for an autocross at the 2007 Vair Fair. I
will tell you right now it won't be on site (I'm not aware of such a
hotel in the $100/night or less price range in Northern Virginia), so
I'll ask outright - should I simply forget about having one at all?
