Ditto from the guy driving a fat car on street tires. The only problem I had was the showcase turn and that was my own fault for not thinking ahead.steverife wrote:I had no issues with that one and liked it.Scoob wrote:Meh, Marcus beat that by a large margin this year with that West course.

Re: In search of a course design artist protege & worker chief
Don't get me wrong: the visuals were horrific, but that course was my favorite course ever, possibly barring one Philly Region event in 2008. If I ever decide to open a kart track, I'm going to take Marcus' course and modify it slightly as the main track. But it will be much easier to follow without 400 cones...

So if nyone that is interested in helping with course wants to jump in, I'm going to be at ADESA at 4 tomorrow.

So, Ben Keefer - you were going to sketch something for the next PSCC event?

Yessir, I plan on coming up with a couple of ideas to run by you. Thanks for the layout, that does make things easier.

Alright, so Ben's first attempt at course design went much better than my first attempt. Thanks for stepping up.

The course was a lot of fun --- especially once the sun finally set and I could see where I was going.

Re: In search of a course design artist protege & worker chief
Yeah the sun was a bit of a hassle that last run group, unfortunately that would be the case somewhere on the course regardless of the design. I can whip up some ideas for #1 but we have plenty of time so certainly should accept submissions from anyone interested.
Where is #1 next year anyways?

Re: In search of a course design artist protege & worker chief
Yeah. We don't get it a lot here because of late starts, but it isn't uncommon to have to deal with that if you are 1st heat at national events and running at like 8 in the morning.benk wrote:Yeah the sun was a bit of a hassle that last run group, unfortunately that would be the case somewhere on the course regardless of the design.

Will we get to start earlier next year?
Re: In search of a course design artist protege & worker chief
Earlier start time would have to be approved by the committee of solo....
