slow people down (In my humble back-seat-driver

There were people (including my student in a BMW M Coupe on street tires, and
some fairly large cars) who got through it very quickly, which tells me that
the ones who didn't just plain screwed up. This sport isn't about being
easy. I think the finish separated the patient from the impatient.
I think more people should design courses, quite frankly.
