The autocross track map has been posted to the event website:

http://ax.pcasdr.org/

Those of you who participated as drivers, instructors, or volunteers at the most recent Performance Driving School may recognize the layout of the track. We're going to be running the PDS track in the reverse direction, with a few other modifications.

Part of the reason is because we have limited time to set up the AX course early on Saturday morning. There is a Race Legal event in the west lot the night before, so we can't set up in advance as we normally do.

It will be a good opportunity for the many PDS students attending to experience how much a course changes when run in the opposite direction. A couple of those tricky downhill decreasing-radius turns are now uphill increasing-radius turns that should feel completely different. Of course, some other areas will have the opposite effect, and become more challenging. We think it will be a fun course and a good learning experience.

Hi David,

We'll begin unloading the equipment trailer and setting up the track at 4:30am for this particular event.

Thanks for offering to help!
