I also will get allot more freedom in course design when we get our new equipment. I am trying to get the WiFi set up so that the finish gate can be anywhere. So that we can do the SCCA type set ups with the finish at the end of the runway..
Ill get the next one up on myautoevents.. for the 25th.. when I get back home later this week.

Not be a contrain, but we have miata people and honda people saying it was fun....No Offense but this is a BMW club and our auto X. For BMW's this was not fun, and I do find the brake zones usefull. I enjoy the transitions between gates, sort of reminds me of a road course. But 5 walls and having slaloms that are angled away from your car are not enjoyable in 3400 lbs cars with stock suspension and street tires. The entire course was turn turn turn turn turn, brake, turn turn turn turn ..brake turn accelerate...finish.
I enjoy challenges, but when I drive my ass of and I know I can not be competative it loses its fun. You can have a course in the ridiculous specs of Bville and make it fair for all cars. And the thing is I was the fastest car on street tires/ stock suspension and beat the E46 M3 by a second! In fact the only cars faster than me where smaller and on track tiresor healily modded suspensions. I was 8th out of 30, So I am not complaining because I suck just because it was not fun.
Sorry for the rant.
Here is a nice challenging course, that makles it appear you are going somewhere.
