Default St. Pete tomorrow.

Course looks decent, I will probably be there...
What's up with all the cones near the finish though? Looks very unnecessary.

if i had the funds i would be in

course does look a lot less technical than the last and should have some decent speed to it

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.

It's been on the schedule at the top of the forum for the last 6 months. Do you need more advance notice than that?

Jeremy took the words right off of my keyboard. Check the schedule, all the events are there. Jeremy makes sure of it. (thanks, man)

As for the cones at the finish, we like a well-defined finish, especially at SPC where there's just no room to let folks go "off". It reigns people in tightly and protects the timing equipment, as well.

Loren,

What do you guys use to make up your course maps? Is it a specific package or is someone just really good with photoshop?

Duct tape rules! When you gonna make one of our events, man?

Leonard, I use Corel Draw to do the course maps. (version 9, to be exact... quite old) I am pretty good with it... or at least I've figured out how to do the things that I need to do to make a nice course map, and I'm good at that. You could do the same thing with Adobe Illustrator (you'd have to know your way around the software), but it's not really Photoshop territory... at least I don't think it is. I've seen similar things done with CAD programs by people who regularly use them.

I start with a blank document and put an image of the site map as the page background. Everything else is "objects" on top of that.
