Recommendation for Course Standards for 2004

Also, if you'd like to try for  an intricate maneuver like a cross-over or pass1/pass2 gate, let's use a "wall of cones" to indicate the right direction of travel.  The idea is to send the driver's focus THROUGH the maneuver (looking ahead) rather than the complexity of the setup.


Here's an example I've posted for the December Course.  If you look at the cones coming in and out of the maneuever, you could get lost, but looking at the next gate, you see exactly where you need to go.


Another reason to learn to look ahead.

Looks good to me.  Can you provide this in hardcopy and softcopy to each Event Master?

I'd like to suggest we use the same exact course every time.  That way I can tell if I'm getting faster or slower.

(only half kidding on this)

I will work on a powerpoint compatible that can be printed out, and create a softcopy.  Due date: December 31

John, you have an excellent idea, though; maybe we can have a 'redux' course that we run three or four times a year  -- you all liked my last course  with the long slalom......

Would that be a motion to the board, or passed on the the Event Chair?

Mike, take a gander at the Introduction at my   website at http://mikes-autox-coursedesignschool.freeservers.com/
and see if that format will suffice, and I will adapt for SASCA 2004
