What kind of morons have they let loose to design courses. This is a ludicrous speed for safety. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Real smart. A narrow road where there is little to no spin room and they set up a high speed slalom?

Only way to run that section would be to let them do a bit of third gear (straight), then have a tight (40 foot) 8 cone slalom that slows them way down.

That's how they do it at Cascade Lakes after the fastest place on the course, i.e., last year was going 96mph before braking for the very tight slalom entry.

And I don't think anyone should be allowed to design an autox until they read this:

and can reiterate what is contained in the book.
