Fun layout, it has some nice most likely smooth straights too.
The long straight might be easier on brakes with braking slightly uphill and into a semi sweeper.
3 180 degree turns but most appear to be in the mid 2nd gear range as opposed to slower 180 degree turns that bog second.
See ya there.

For the auto-x which direction are we going? Which side is the start?

Which way did he go? Which way did he go?

Unless we get a choice of exits, I am guessing it is a counter-clockwise track with a set of 3 entry lanes on the right side. :wink:

Kim, after further inspection I think you are right!

The ax is counter clockwise(1 line is start-2 lines finish), the de is clockwise, we will work out the entrance/exit Sunday morning. The 180 corners in the de are more like sweepers and the pavement is smooth. And no swale crossing.
all we need now is a little help Sunday morning.to set the track.

The map we use to draw these things is horrible. It is totally out of scale. Before the next event we will have a better template.

:wink:

Whew! Make sure you have enough brake pads for that DE course! Check your brake ducting too.
Oh, and I wouldn't pit in the runoff area on the other side of the H4 pole. Looks fast! Should be fun, though. :D
I love DE's at the Murph! Uh, I mean the Q. :oops:

Mike,
I'm curious why you made so many changes to the AX track for Sunday. Was there concern about the swale or just an attempt at a different DE layout? I know how much work it is to throw 2 different tracks on a weekend, especially on Sunday when there are 75% fewer drivers to help out.

Jeff

Are we tempting fate?

Given our 50% rain-out history of Autocrosses this year, should we really be calling this one "Raindance"? :wink:
