If it REALLY bugs us to have to keep it under 70, and we don't have enough roll-bar equipped folks to run an "open track" event by our insurance company's rules, we can seek other insurance.

It looks pretty tight to me - what sort of speeds did you get too when you ran it Loren? You may be able to break up the long sweeper on the left pretty easily to get the speeds down in the bottom of the course.

My personal opinion is that it creates more of a safety issue to modify that sweeper in any way. Toss a chicane in there and you're just adding potential for spins in what is already about the most dangerous part of the track.
Safely, all we can really do is limit acceleration in the straight before the sweeper. We did that with a 7-cone slalom and probably knocked 5-10 mph off of the top speed. None of us felt any safer at that speed, but it would probably get us below the 70 mph barrier.

ahhh clock wise - yes, wouldn't want to do that. Then different insurance - the difference between and 70-90 should not be that big of a deal. Are there ample run off's on the East and NE side of the course where you will be getting speed?
