Well, it was bound to happen. They asked me to design a course, and through
no fault of my own I just happened to get TTOD (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) . And that was against even the Cat Super 7 that usually rules if he shows. So of course I stand accused of making it a 914 course. Even though the closest other 914 was 3 seconds back. I'm guilty of putting in a nice slalom of 8 cones, 25 paces apart. And I only set up about 80% of the course, a few others put in a weird part. Here it is, WMV 10Mb 84.915 seconds. Sorry for the compression, the cones appear out of nowhere (but not in real life). Check out the 270 degree pivot cone at the end of the first straight. I thought it would be cool, and it was, but I couldn't quite get oversteer at that speed so it felt slow. |

It looked like a well designed course from the video. Good flow and really a great job for your first shot. If you have a map, sent it to Roger (SCCA GRU) who will usually give you feedback. Anytime you have more than 9 or 10 corners on a AutoX course everyone will complain, especially the 911 Porsche or Detroit iron people. I try to make it 10 or less so that no one complains. |
