Looks like we're close to having a course approved. It's going to be a bit on the short side so as long as everyone keeps on their toes we will get to have several runs.

I really like the course map. Who designed this? I don't think I have ever run a map like this one at SPC.

I'm see a few places that I may have to lift off throttle, but not much braking for my little red rocket.

Nice work.

Worker stations on the map are just general areas. I moved the "5" tag because it was overlapping some of the cones. Always stand where it's safe!

So, what are the chances I could take the last run of the day in the tow pig? I've always been curious how my lowrider would do in the twisties....

As long as it has passed tech, you can take your last run in whatever you want.

Well, I have to drop off the trailer then be out by 8:30 (after looking at the trailer lights). Won't actually be attending the event. Will be back around 2-3pm to help brake down and haul the trailer back. I literally meant the very last run of the day, timed, but unofficial. I can wait till I can actually attend an event, just curious if it'd really even fit...

Your pickup will fit through the course, we don't make them that tight.

I don't think anyone is going to balk about they guy who's made two trips to haul our trailer taking a run on the course. Just be sure you're there before the last run so that the course is still intact and workers are still out. Still need to have someone do a quick tech on your truck.
