The easy way around this is to do what the CFR designers do and move the finish 200 ft up the course away from the tent. Sure, you give up 200 ft of course on the way back, but it sure as hell beats arm wrestling your car through a horrible short/wide offset like at Z-Hills... Gives the drivers plenty of room to shut it down, and keeps the finish fun.
It's so frustrating to work your way through a nice 2nd gear course then come to a STOP before the lights because the course designers want to put the finish right next to the T&S tent.
