I think I like where you're going with this.  I see a good mixture of short straight sections with some challanging transitions.  I think I see where the obvious line is not necessarily the fastest line in one or two places.  I like that![Cheesy]

This looks like a fun course.  Looks like some good speed could be built up.

I REALLY don't think we should make it a habit of running courses like that.  The fact of the matter is that those folks who are unfortunate to run in the 1st run group end up throwing away their first or second run because the surface is so slick.  By the time the course just STARTS to get grippy for them, their chances of getting a good run for one direction are shot.  If we had a better lot surface to run on (one that was grippier from the beginning and didn't have as much pea-gravel), then I'd say we should do that, but our lot makes for a VERY frustrating day when we reverse it.

Just my $.02.  I'm not on the BoD any more, but I was very unhappy with the last event we reversed and it wasn't because of the course design itself.  It just made for a frustrating day; not fun at all since I was one of the first cars on course in the first run group.

Hey Ricky!   [:-weepn][:-weepn][:-weepn]

Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!

I still drive so crappy that I couldn't tell the difference.  Except my afternoon times were slower that day.  Maybe this was part of it.
