Well I will admit that since I run a lower HP car and there are quite a few 4 cyl cars we do try to keep it below 80.. And the top speed limit has some leeway , due to the rules at the site.



Thanks for the complements on the past courses. I am always open for suggestions and feedback. This is one of the reasons I am posting on this site.

Usually a faster course does have some hard breaking areas due to need to turn around at the end of the runway.



I am going to do another curved slalom, this time it will be at the cross over area and run all the way across the course, from right side to left. ( looking from the starting gate ) Then the turn around with an exit gate and the driver gets to pick their line to get back to the left side of the track. So it will be a figure 8 type lay out

.

We usually do the off set slalom at the beginning to keep it slow and allow the driver to heat up the tires. That much turning is one of the best way to get the tires up to Temp.



The issues I have is I never know how many people are really going to show up. Once we get a pre paid registration going then I can better plan the track size. Since I will know how many people will be there Hence how many stations I can have out on the course. We just have to make sure there are enough people to work the course. Plus there have been problems with some drivers leaving after their 2nd run and then I am short workers for the last group.



Ill have to find some sort of Cad program so I can start posting the course before the day of the event.
