it's a function of course design... sure the turn arounds are challanging but the event would have flowed much quicker had their not been the huge overlap.. i'm not complaining he event was awesome. it's just airport courses will all have the same problem. unless you an stage at one end and finish at the other hummmm.. anyone for rally scoring best outbound and inbound time combined.

CFR SCCA did a couple of events like that last summer. We'd run about a half-dozen cars and hold them at the far end, bring back the group, run another half-dozen, bring 'em back, and so on. It was certainly nice having the whole width of the runway to work with, and there was certainly no problem with multiple cars on course! The event flow wasn't as quick, of course, because of the pauses necessary to bring cars back to the start end.

Winundada, Please sign up for the school, I promise you'll not regret it, we are 1/2 full allready so don't wait. I am working on the lesson plan tonight. I'm gonna stress the importance of visualizing the course during the walk through. I am sure a good focused walk would have elminated many of those off course excursions. and I admit if you were not aware or looking out your side windows it was very difficult to see "through" the corners.
with that airport being active we will never be able to "drive around" and restage. and having a northbound and southbound run in the same event would create some more intresting results. 3-4 runs in each direction.
