No, RJ...I answered your question first, then locked the extra thread to avoid someone (inevitably) spinning off into when the map will be posted, why it's not posted yet, course redesign suggestions and gripes once it's been posted, and so on and so on. Better to pinch the whole mess off early. The safety review had a few last minute suggestions, and with a test this week and being out of town, I haven't had time to redraw the map yet. Suffice to say, it'll get posted in enough time for people to have a look and print a copy to bring with them.

In other news, pre-registration is not only ended, it's full. Going to be a good event.

Point taken. I look foward to it if I get to see it or not. In fact it would probably be better if we did not get to see it at all. Keep everyone guessing. :D

Yeah, as long as the course has been approved by the safety steward, I don't really care to see the map ahead of time. A road course, yes...autocross, not so much. Walking it has far more benefits. Yellow_Colorz_PDT_06 Looking forward to seeing you guys at the next event.

a map will be up plenty early enough. I was all set to be lazy and run an old layout that only a few would have run before, but Jamie had a good layout idea, new and fresh. Just final tweaks for safety and to increase the fabu-tacular awesomeness.

G is for the 2-door coupe. I have the 4-door sedan.

My bad Alex. It wasn't listed as a sedan and not many people pimp the sedans to auto-x's. PM Jaime and he'll switch you back to H.

That's odd, because I didn't move him. :)

IIRC, there was one cooler mostly full of random sodas. Not sure about water, but buy lots...it's going to be in the 90s and running about 70% humidity, so it'll get used.

No problem. Just be sure whoever is there signs the waiver.

Get 8 or even 10 cases of water. If there is any left over they can go in the trailer.
Cherry coke seems wildly poplular. I guess a variety of others. Diet drinks always seem to be left over, so maybe only one of those.

Keep in mind that we made need a mid-day ice run.

Uh, do we need chalk?

I think the course could use some chalk. Don't know if we have any or not.

+1 on the Cherry Coke! 8)

In fact, at SPC, bring as many guests as you like. There's no restriction on numbers like at Brooksville, either. We take names during pre-registration just to get an idea of how many are showing up for lunch.

Course looks good. I assume the black arrow means we don't have a choice as to how we take the split?
