and that lash-up I ran today.
Having laid out a bad course myself, I recognize one when I see it. Folks miss gates or just get lost....and I'm talkin' guys with experience. If I had done my first AX on this mess (there were some of these unfortunate souls out there today), I prolly wouldn't ever come back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The fast guys were still fast, but many never got a time without a missed gate. I got one ....my last chance... 3rd run. It wuz good enuff to beat Chuck, but nuthin' to write home about.....top door slammer time was bout 45 flat (that freakin' Miata), I was at 47.7. Oh well, some days you eat the bear & somedays the bear eats you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Fortunately, this doesn't happen often. SCCA says that a course isn't supposed to be an exercise in navigation.
When I got there, 2 guys that are very experienced (one of whom is CMFIC) were doing some heavy duty bitchin' about the course. Everyone I talked to had advice as to how to deal with the thing.......and I hadn't even seen it yet. I missed a gate (different ones) on each of my first 2 runs & poor Chuck just got lost twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) By the time run #3 rolled around, we wuz pretty well rattled (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
