- Well put, Darren. Variety is definitely a good thing, as is challenge -- not "where am I" challenge, but "where do I want to place my car through here" challenge. Courses that offer (lure?) drivers w

- Philosophically, optional slaloms or turn-arounds actually offer two or three different courses and become an I.Q. test, appealing to some. The tendency here is to offer courses that are the same for
