<VV> hoe down fun!

At this zoom level you can clearly see the 4 rows of old Corvairs parked at 
the bottom of the picture.

Use the zoom level to zoom out to see where the farm is located, and use the 
map button to see street and town names.

We hold the autocross in the big field above the Corvairs and to the left of 
the buildings.  The bonfire is held is the center of the small narrow field 
at the top.

Since this photo was taken, the large forested area above the farm has been 
"harvested" and is now just a bare, ugly field.

It is held near the big town of DeWitt in Dinwiddie County, VA.  And
yes, there are no tire restictions. I was running new 185/70R13's and it
was like I was driving a PG with no transmission fluid, slipped the
whole course. I wanted FOUR snow tires. Maybe even studs.
