Ah, I see now... What I read was "clean, wet roads"... and I don't equate "road" with "track" (which explains why the magazine is called Road AND Track). And because autocross is never held on a road, to me it sounded like you were driving on public roads.
Regardless, even if you were on a road that was somehow closed off to the public, it's still a road. And most of the roads I've driven are many times more unkind to spinning cars than race tracks. (you can hit trees, rocks, walls, etc in what we call "accident tangents.")
