ok i will try and get a different track set up but i dont think I will be able to pull any weight on something like this. I will try and draw another map on a set up like this to see if they will buy it.

No worries, have fun and don't stress. I would attend anyway if it were closer, just with another car. I posted this on our local forum. The vette guys are pretty exited, they love point and shoot courses!

It’s hard to get a sense of scale of the course. When I do a course I try not to do any turns smaller than 50ft. radius, or slaloms tighter than 60ft. spacing, if it’s only a 3 cone slalom I will do less, but a 4 cone slalom with 45ft spacing is painful.
I am not going to the event. Just some input on course design.
I have a pdf of Roger Johnson’s Solo Course Design handbook. If anybody wants a copy PM me your e-mail and I will send it to you. I think it’s a must read for anybody doing course design.

The one I have is the 2006 version, I will have to read the new one to see if it has any changes.
Thanks
Edit,
You may want to give the handbook its own thread, a lot of people will not look here. It’s good information. I would do it but I cannot add attachments.

If the course gets a good tweak, I might come up for just a Saturday run as there is a local even on Sunday... But, if the course looks to be great one, I might skip the local and stay for Sunday... since I would already be there.

..If my car is happy (long story - smokes like a freight train on hard right handers)
......if the course design tempts me to make the drive
..........if my co-driver doesn't want to go, you bet!!!
If I go, at a minimum, you can take a ride with me and get an idea of how my unusual setup feels. I always get a kick out of people's surprised response on how well my car behaves and how it rotates... in spite of my configuration. However, I must admit that we are still tweaking things and trying to get everything where we want.
