Here is the AX course.
Wouldn't be a PCA event without a Fu*&%!*!*ing skidpad or two.
They are actually an excellent learning tool.Quote:

If you don't like the skidpads just skip them.
I was seriously thinking about signing up for the autocross.
Thanks for posting the course map - now I can sleep in that day and not waste my time instead.
I think they add an interesting element and provide a great learning tool. I look forward to it.
What he said. What's the time trial course going to look like?Quote:

I'm assuming Al designed this course? He seems to have an unhealthy fascination with skidpads for some reason.
I designed the course.Quote:

I'd make both days but I'll be in Austin Saturday, so I guess it is Skidpads for me. Robert, I have it on good authority you won't melt in the heat. You may just puddle a little :rolleyes:
Sammm, I still stand by my assertion. As a course element, I firmly believe skidpads suck. Apparently I'm not alone.
I'm sure it's not the first time Jimmy has heard me complain about a course he designed. He's a big boy - he'll get over it. :wink:
I would make it but getting off at 5am Saturday and driving to MW to autoX in 100 degree weather than back to work at 5pm is starting to take its toll.
As long as I'm autoxing, you can put anything on a course and I'll still have fun. No jumps though. I'd have to switch suspensions.
I'm not a huge fan of skidpads as elements, but I wouldn't skip an event because of them. Some people don't like the optional walloms I love to use.
Its a little ironic that the people complaining are on-record as refusing to autox at MW at all, and don't usually run PCA events anyway. A little bored, guys?
