Tampa Bay Executive Airport
Maybe too small for an autocross, but I thought it was cool anyway.
Notice the hangars are actually open, so maybe running through them is possible.

While going thru the hangers would be cool in a way I can't imagine the insurance the association would have to carry to cover any possible damages.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

This airport has been closed for a while now. I'm not sure what the future plans for it are. But an autocross might be possible on the runway due to no flight activity. I will try to find out who is the current owner.

This airport isn't in Tampa. The airport is located on State Road 54 in pasco. It is located west of Gun Highway in Odessa area.

We need to steal a couple of those hangars for Brooksville. How sweet would it be to have a covered paddock and grid area?

I pesonally would rather wake up a bit later, get some breakfast, then make my way to the event as it is just getting started. Just my opinion.
