<<Very creditable for a first effort and a marque-specific course.
---------Thanks
<<Pros:
90 degree start was well-designed
Initial straight/sweeper/lane change was great
"showcase" turn in front of the trailer
<<Increasing-speed slalom was unusual/fun
--------original plan was to have the slalom offset a bit which would have
slowed down the cars, but I thought it would have be a little to brutal,
considering the rest of the course ;)
----------I thought the 45° chamfered corner would allow enough acceleration
with managable drift
<<Cons:
The Chicago box was very tight, probably not SCCA legal.
(note to readers: this wasn't an SCCA event and it wasn't
required to be)
--------Yup, but I was trying to duplicate a section I drove in the Evolution
driving school, we had a C5 in our group and he handled the box ok, just don't
remember the exact size of the box. I have always luv'd chicago boxes, ever
since last years SFR school
<<Lots of people got lost there, as has been noted.
The crossover was impossibly, let-me-out-of-here-so-I-can-go-home
tight.
-------we ran out of space and had to tighten the "coat hanger" by about twice
as much, had to stay two concrete pads away from the Hiller Helicopter pad
<<Lots of people took out the finish, which hurts trying to keep the
event going.

-------original plan was to hook the end of the slalom 90° to the right and
cross thru the same start finish lights which would have made people consider
taking the last bit of the slalom a little easier in preparation for a clean
shot at the finish
Thanks for the feedback Kevin S. So you want tighter Chicago boxes, more coat
hanger/hammerheads and longer faster slaloms, got it :) ~Nanda CSP Miata #4
