Here you go! If you would like to ensure a printout for yourself, bring one from home. We will only have limited copies available at the event.

Only 109 signed up now. Did 7 people back out after seeing the course map? 😉

LOL! I’m staying in, but I’m going to need a second sandwich!;-)

Are the 10′ cones scaring you?

Those cones better not be to scale. Carnage!

I’m unclear on the 3 cones in the straightaway–go left around them? stay right around them? tight slalom through them?

I have a feeling you stay left of them. Better not be a 20′ slalom. And you thought there was a straightaway…

I say stay right of the 3 cone in the straight away. To me they look like they were placed there to help people spatially realize that they shouldn’t go left off the straight path.

Now that we’ve driven it, what did you think? 🙂

Personally, this was one of my favorites! My biggest challenge was the corner after the slalom. I think I did it “almost right” one time, the rest of my runs, not so much.

My most favorite course EVER… ! 🙂

Agree with you Jeff on the tight hairpin. Trail brake like crazy and tuck in tight seemed to work best for me.

Yes, very fun course! It wasn’t as slow as it looks and it flowed really well! Gotta remember this one for a Rewind event.

It wasn’t tight, if you brought the right car. 😉

Tight line was the best for the hairpin after the slalom, if you did your braking in time.

I loved the course!

Confession time…I have yet to encounter an autocross course I didn’t like!

If that first section flowed, I never found it.

For me, the key was nailing both hairpins. Blowing the first one screws up the entry to the central slalom, and going deep/wide on the second doesn’t get you anything—you just waste a lot of time driving out and back.
