FWIW,
I like the El Mirage system with a wide area to choose. I try to pick a line
between a nice groovy set of 4-wheeler ruts. What threw me was the fact that
the cone distance kept getting narrower and narrower.
I thought I was in a Hitchcock movie.
I'm guessing the trap width is about 25%-30% of the start-line width ...

all pull it up on a web-site and watch the blips go right across the
screen.)

The lines are still there, it's that now you run between two lines 90 feet
apart. The old single line went away when we had to move the courses 2 or 3
times during the meet. What happened is everyone wants to run right on the
line and with the salt being soft it was rutting is so bad we had to move it
during the event. This takes time away from running. Having a 90 foot lane
it allows the driver to pick where he wants to run even if it's along the
side by the line.
At El Mirage we have only cones to run between and a flag marker at the end.
I guess Jack needs a a bill board size sign at the end so he can see it with
his parascope. LOL
