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)

I remember that a AX course is to be designed so that the fastest car do not exceed 70 MPH max. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

If you go to that Roger Johnson SCCA link I posted above and start reading about page 127 there is some good information about speed.

Actually an autox shouldn't be designed where cars are exceeding 60mph. Now the fast modified cars are probably pushing that.

Interesting Roger says "Pure straights much over 400 feet in length are iffy; much longer ones are just plain irresponsible."
