More videos from RMcElwee...
As some of you know, I just purchased a new digital camcorder. Of course, this means I will be taking an endless stream of videos while I play with my new toy. Here are a few - enjoy:

BTW, that really isn't a short course. In reality, it is about 2 miles long but I drive so damn fast that it just seems like it was short!

I know that i am very lucky to use the venue i have. many people I have talked to say it is *the* best venue in America and now i realize why. Im very sorry if i sounded like an ***, didnt mean to be rude.

Yeah, we unfortunately get "shorter" courses here until the local club that I run with finnally got a slightly larger lot. But our course are usually a lot tighter than that though, with loops occacionally in the back lot......
Ah..... where's the spring, where's the spring.... it's been snowing some more this morning......

we all know you still are
I was pretty spoiled actually. I started autoxing in Richmond at VMP, which is a 1/4 drag track. The lot was as long as the track and plenty wide. Then they also started using Cloverleaf mall, which only had a food court left open on the weekends it was so ghetto and run down. but the lot was great, we acutally used three parking sections, pleny of times in the 2min range. Then they lost that lot cause sears bought it property or something and the started just using RIR, which wasn't as big, but plently big.
Now that I do it in NOVA, there is only a few lots in VA that people can acutally use, but SCCA usually gets the pick of the litter, then the little clubs get crap. Right now I autox in two High School Parking lots. The one being about the size of a Mcdonalds lot.

Dave,
Amen to that! we're expecting -16--25F again tonight. And more snow!!
Our AX lot is pretty small (~40sec), and it's an hour and half drive just to get there... But we are all just greatful to drive on pavement

I've only autoxed a couple times (non in the miata...yet) but this one was by far my favorite. Long and fast.
Yeah I spun out once.

I don't know how you guys run through all those cones normally, they're so spaced out. I think I'd get lost and run stuff over.
