X2! Don't do anything that could remotely make her dislike AutoX! You will pay dearly to continue your addiction if you do! Don't worry... you will only be required to bow to the queen for the next... uhh... 17 years or so!

I should know more the weekend before the event (if the kid made his Nov 7th due date or not). I'll post again when I know more, but just wanted ya'll to know I should be available to at least pick it up afterwards.
I'm........having.........Autocross........withdraws........
But it's all very well worth it.
I got trailer duty covered, just flushing out the details.

Yeah. If you're anywhere near this autocross on the 14th, I hope you have an appointment with an attorney scheduled, as well.
Suck it up, support the wife.
Oh I won't be there for the event for sure. I meant to say I could grab it after the race on sunday. I didn't pay attention to what day the race was on. It would be a grab and dash, no doubt. Just throwing it out there if SPC wasn't cool with picking it up monday morning. I know my wife would be cool with me being out of the house for an hour or so. Heck if it's cool enough out, I might even take the kiddo with me and give mamma a break (no A/C in the truck).

Nice job! I can see numbers in my head, but can't for the life of me do visual things like this. Kudos to the course designers.

That looks familiar, have we run that before?

It's sort of similar to the "ampersand" course, but the approach is different. The middle part is sort of backwards from that one.
I'm convinced that I've designed just about every feasible course there is to design for SPC, so if you go back far enough... it's likely that I've done something very similar to this one before!

Nice course. I will probably get lost. I could get lost in a drag race.

Shouldn't be too bad. The proper path is pretty evident as long as you know how to read standard autocross apexes and look ahead just a little bit.

It should, I think the ideas I gave Loren came from one of your designs.

Pending the results of some additional testing this weekend, we just may have wireless timing for this event! 8)
New equipment is in-hand and preliminary testing is positive.
Wire sucks.
