>>>Looking for input on the coolest summer and warmest winter autoxs.
Ideally
these locations would have an event every weekend, large smooth event sights
and good competition.<<<
If you live in the eastern half of United States Florida is definitely the
place to be for autocrossing when the weather is too cold up north. Several
sites are available to choose from. The easiest way to check them out is to
go to Autocross.com and look in the club listing for Florida. I don't know
of any club that holds one event per week but you should be able to catch
more than one in Florida per month.
I am currently the treasurer of Gulfcoast Autocrossers Ltd. We have ten
events per year at a great site called Buckingham Airfield in Fort Myers
Florida. It is a half mile long by 400 feet wide of concrete poured by Uncle
Sam's army back in the 1940s. It is actually just a small portion of the
original Army Air Corps training field for B-17 Fighting Fortresses and B-24
Liberators. In the 1960s the site hosted a sanctioned NHRA drag strip visited
by the big Daddy himself. Now it is a part of the Lee County Mosquito Control
District as an emergency landing strip for their DC-3 aircraft. Founding
members of Gulfcoast Autocrossers Ltd. made arrangements with the site
director to hold monthly Autocross events at the site.
