I only used a parking lot once, and I'm suprised we got away with it. An AMod car blasting around in the FX lot in the middle of the afternoon is not inconspicuous.....

I thought about that before, but I really don't know of any locations where you wouldn't get busted. Just take a drive down some backroads in Pungo and Chesapeake, there are some fun turns out there.
Why can't you race?

You practice everytime you drive. Practice being smooth during turns, shuffle steering and smooth shift transitions. Everything that you do in an auto-x can be practiced every day during normal driving.

There is usually a pratice day on Saturday before the events at Fentress. Basically people come out and help set up the course and after setup they will pratice the course backwards or something like that. It is usually very informal as long as you have put in a little sweat equity in helping set the course up. I think ODR basically does something similiar at Pungo, but I am not sure.

It's a whole lot safer than driving to school or work! You only have to worry about your car and not every body else.
You should have them come to an event and see it for themselves so they know that experienced adults are running things and that it's as safe as it can get.
