Indeed there is. Virginia International Raceway, an old but legendary
track that closed down in 1974, is being ressurected as a country club.
I was down there last weekend, and it will be an amazing place. They
will be able to run two events at once when they use the cut throughs
(the south course is so busy that it is almost like a big autocross
course), and the full course has an enormous straight. In addition,
they are going to start with a two acre paved square pad exclusively
for autocross use, and there will be a ten acre autocross pad sometime
in the future! Check out http://www.virclub.com/ for more details.
