Awesome design Jack! I can see the detail!
Also, you’re just bringing these to events and they sell out first come/first serve or is this thread really for orders / reservations?
Can we make photographer an official working position that people can volunteer for?
I always appreciate when people take pictures and post and it does require a significant amount of work both at the course and after to get photos available to the group.

That also makes a good cross-over point.
We haven’t done this much this season, but a tight technical section where the cones are narrowly spaced and force you to put in some extreme steering inputs followed by a higher speed section are always fun (possibly into a hairpin turn).
Most of the first half:

[img]http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/trekkor/TrackMasters%20ax%20school%207/P1150637.jpg[/img]Overall, it was a short course, but hit the major elements. With the 40+ runs on it, the ~40 second length felt about right.
The slow speed section was all done in 1st gear and was VERY slow / lots of input into the last part of the cloverleaf. The transition section between the courses is missing between the two courses in the photos above, but it ran at probably 30mph through some deceiving corners (was intended to make you think there were curves, but you could take it straight). In the entry to the second half, I was maxing out at 60mph, hitting a bump in the course, then braking when the car settled to get into the slalom.
Though the course was basic and relatively short compared to the ones we’ve set up (Candlestick), it still let you focus on tight elements and skidpad elements and get a lot of practice in. If you wanted to come out and play around with your suspension between session or tire pressures, that was encouraged as well.
The only thing missing was a timing system to get a true readout if your changes made you faster vs what you think made you faster.
