Had a TON of fun at this track with the CiSCC today. This track was freakin awesome! Felt like being in a video game b/c of all the buildings and twists/turns. sooo much fun

for maximum enjoyment: turn up the volume

When this thread settles down, please print it out and give to your event organizer.

This is a good idea. Along the same lines, is it difficult to design a safe autocross course? I ask out of ignorance, as I think I've attended one autocross, and did not drive. I've seen autocross design threads on other forums, but don't really pay attention. What I'm driving at, is perhaps some autocross course design tips for the original poster that might make their way to the event organizer?

Howdy,

Well, there are minimum safety guidelines in the SCCA rulebook, but they're pretty darned basic and certainly don't by themselves make something meeting them a "safe course".

There's a lot that goes into it, particularly when you're working with a small lot or hazards (light poles, curbs, drainage grates, etc.). Roger Johnson has a course design presentation that's floating around on the web that's a great introduction to course design, though its about more than just safety.
