    Since so many places are being brought up, there is a stretch of tarmac next to the 360 and 183 on ramp

    always seen cones set up there and wondered if some event is held there. I guess it belongs to the airport.

    and they often "forgot" to unlock the gate, so an event would be delayed a long time

    not enough room really for a decent paddock and course

    and if you went off the pavement you disappeared

    and it was a tire eater

    Kind of before my time. The first autocross I came to was at the west lot. Had my first ride (and spin) in Onething's car. Never got to race on it, but it allowed for super long courses.
