Default New format for autocross events.

During the last Brooksville event someone brought up the idea of running our local like a National Tour. I thought everyone was going to jump on him and say that it would be impossible, but on the contrary everyone seemed to like the idea. Who thinks this is possible?

The idea is to have all cars do 3 or 4 runs in the morning and then change the course, and have everyone do 3 or 4 more runs and then take your best run from the morning and afternoon, then add them together for your final score.

Positives -
1. This would work because CFR events at Brooksville have very low attendance.
2. Hopefully the software can handle this, if not National should have software that already does this.
3. Shouldn't take that long to rearrange the course and test drive it for SSS approval.
4. Force me to figure out a course before my 6th run.

Negatives -
1. Re-walking the course may take a long time. (30-40 mins?) Maybe less if we allowed bikes on course
2. Need people to redesign and re-chalk the course during everyone else's lunch break.
3. Lose 2 or 3 runs total.
4. Anymore than 50(?) entrants might be too much to fit in one day.
