It would be relatively simple to put a maximum cone spacing on a four or
more cone slalom and a maximum radius on turns that is more than say 60
degrees.  The long slalom on the south course was about 110 ft (most wing
a-mods were at terminal velocity at between 70 and 92mph, b-mod about
77mph). The section that most people considered a straight was a 150 foot
spacing slalom (about the same speeds,acceleration and terminal velocity
limited).  On the north course, the rad of the big right hand sweeper was
about 200 ft rad (my a-mod car was going about 64 at 1.6g peaks.

Just a few facts to confuse the opinions.  {:o)
