who knows maybe porsche club will make a straight away followed by a slalom to a left handed sweeper to another straight away and it's done.
skim through this http://houscca.com/solo/courses/coursedesign.zip it is basically a rulebook for course design.

I hope that area doesn't include grid.

edit,

The Car classes are funny. Group E is basically all Japanese cars, Mini's and Mustangs. Meanwhile their trying to figure out if someones Boxster has the 3.2 over the 2.7 bumping him from C to B.

ben i was thinking the same thing. you would think the large space by the hangar would be it.

they look like plane runways. small ones but if a plane can take off and land in them then i am sure some cars can drive fastish in them.

I would think the area below the general parking would serve as paddock and grid. In any case, you guys should make it there early to get good work assignments. I would not like to chase cones in this heat! I've already got my assignement to work in an air conditioned truck!

I'm not worried about the heat, I'm more concerned with the course. I don't think that i would like to stand in the middle of this course.

People who have done this event before is saying the course is small, but tons of fun, and very high grip. I'm looking forward to it!

Dan, you'll be good with a few course walks. You guys could even try to space out you cars and ride with each other depending on how big the run group is.

Igo4bmx, I have 264's in my car. They're not bad cams, better than stock.

That course does look small. Any idea how many poeple are competing?
