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?
