If you set up a 1/2-mile straight with a cone at the end and a half mile back, I'm in (even without N20). :twisted:

I dont have the technical skills to do it the right way but take a look at Monroe County Airport. It has the additional runways and access roads to do an autocross the right way. Maybe even a good roadcourse.

Island Home Airport in Knoxville could probably be made into a mini road course with the access roads and runway. No single big lot though.

Island Home is probably too close to civilization and thus, too busy. However it is worth the legwork. We'll never know until we ask.
