I agree that AAS courses are more fun than GGC’s. PCA courses are also usually more fun. I think 50 ft. slaloms are tedious, Slow, low rpm corners are not that much fun, either.
I also see a lot of new people at GGC events and I don’t think they are as discerning as some of us who are exposed to a lot of events. I also think GGC might have a fair number of new people at each event that I don’t see again at later events (I haven’t done a study of that, but it seems that way, and it seems to me that if it’s true, it indicates that they didn’t have as much fun as organizers think they had…) Retention is a good thing.
There is one older driver who gets lost at GGC events. The same guy doesn’t get lost at AAS events. This has to tell you something about confusing course markings…
Just my opinion.
