(2009) NCC Autocross Event #4 - July 11 @ Summit Point Motorsports Park

Hey Woody! Congrats on the FTD! lol.

Hope everyone enjoyed themselves, looks like that was the case. I hope everyone enjoyed the course too. It is such a difficult surface to work with. It doesn't give you that satisfaction of ripping around a course with massive G levels....but it does force you to be fast but smooth. I think of it like a ballet at TSP.

I tried to set the course up so it didn't have any slow/tight spots, and would be fast and flowing. Other clubs make you run around each circle which can get old, so I tried to straighten out the lines a bit and add transitions.

So if there was anything that you guys think could have been improved let me know. I really liked that setup, but if I were to do it over, I'd have made it even faster, and a little more opened up....just because that lot is slippery enough. Since I ran 2 runs before, and 2 runs immediately after the rain, I can tell you I was only 0.5sec slower in the wet! WTF!

I would've liked the course to be a little faster. Making the straights just a little longer maybe.. I think maybe the lack of speed was due to the sheer lack of grip more than the course design though. Overall, it was a fun course.

A little bumpercam for fun. This was my second run in an E36 M3, afternoon just before the rain. It was a 59.1, 3 seconds behind Woody and Noel in T2.

Scott,

I thought the course was plenty fast enough

[Biggins]

Hey Scott... I told you at the event and will again; it was definitely my favorite course so far this year and it was plenty fast enough for me. I know that's the closest my times will ever be to yours!

I love the curbing too.

That was caught by the workers on course at the event. I'm pretty sure he's already been talked to.
