Here, HERE!!!

Looks like a great design and a ton of fun...nice mix of elements...well placed cones and pointers...awesome job! How long (time-wise) is it?

Wish I knew how to graph it like that. :hehe:

So you guys give course maps to drivers? I think that's an EXcellent idea!

Im not sure how long it is. They are usually for arround 50 seconds or so. But roughly 1 minute and you get four trys to get the best time you can. I can post up some past courses to show you all the ones Ive done.

yes, we get course maps when we show up to race, and they post them up online before hand too.

- Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:04 am #21477 That's pretty awesome. Most of our courses are shorter, but we mainly have smallish venues. I wish we did, but currently NONE of the clubs I run with provide course maps. I think they're a GREAT idea.

Do you have a link to download any of these? I'm also interested in HOW you guys graph these. What software...are you using GPS stuff...you know...the nuts and bolts of it.

Do you happen to know what graphing software they're using?

Im not sure what they use, if they use something. I know that all those grey ircles are light poles in the lot. and we just work arround them. The start out with the blank page and just design a corse arround the lights. Its all hand drawn from what I have seen.

The SCCA club in houston set up something with the place to use the lot. They also have drift shows there too.
