Yeah, I remember that one.
It was Harry Mann's north course at the Salina Municipal Airport site --
1986 -- kind of a "death by slalom" course. Late in the run was a 12-cone
no-option slalom that offset halfway through. My SportsCar writeup described
it as "long and fast" but you had to get cone 6 dead on to get over to cone
7 and be on line for the rest of it. Some, indeed, looked at it as two
6-cone slaloms put together. It ran about 2/3 the length of the
north-course area (the larger of the two) and ended at the beginning of the
loop that became the finish.
