Spoke with track manager today(Devil's bowl). Looks promising. Come to the meeting tomorrow night to be part of the discussion.

Heres a wild out there one. The Nissan dealer on Shelburne Road moved to where the Saturn dealer was, now there is a big empty lot. Probably not the most likely sight, but worth looking into?

Re: New Autocross site needed. Stowe is not available this year.
Not that big when you factor in light poles and grid/paddock needs. I've looked at it a few times now and can't seem to make it get any bigger. Any movement on the site in NY?

Re: New Autocross site needed. Stowe is not available this year.
I just now got a call back from Miramar, regarding the lot request for Champlain, NY - he did not think it would be allowed, but will 'present' our request to the owners - he did mention that it was not closed, that some spaces are used for offices, a few of which are used 7 days a week.
He did, however, seem a little more 'upbeat' about it when I mentioned our offer to help clean up the lot, in addition to rent...

For those not at the meeting Tuesday, much movement has been made with Devil's bowl. Expect an announcement soon. Just tying up some loose ends.

Re: New Autocross site needed. Stowe is not available this year.
hello, in my random drives around vermont I spoted two places that a autox could happen.
the bottom lift parking lot at bolton valley, has what looks to be a autox lot. it is roped off and not used to park on.
there is also a lot down off pine street in Burlington either lakeside ave, that appears to be a police training lot. you could get the police involved and call the event "say no to street raceing" or something.
just trying to help!

Re: New Autocross site needed. Stowe is not available this year.
Sorry to be a downer on these two good prospects, but both have been investigated heavily and probably won't work out for a number of reasons.
We love the effort and feeback, though! Thanks for posting them up.
