Miatamoto and myself are desigining this course. La Grave Field (where the Fort Worth Cats play baseball) is in town (just south of Downtown Fort Worth) and it's easy on tires.
You get eight runs.
More info here.

Are you trying to sell that as a possitive aspect of the event??? :confused:Quote:

It's great training and a lot of fun for the students. Lunch and a couple of classroom sessions are included.
Is that when they show 'Blood on the Highway' ? ;)Quote:

It's basically autocross skills, applied to real driving situations without calling it autocross. Skidpad, slalom, braking while turning etc. Then in the afternoon an AUTOCROSS! I mean...emergency driving obstacle course.Quote:
