    Default SPOKES, autocross @ COTA Feb. 28

    Has anyone here run an autocross on the H parking lot?

    If so... Any video to watch?


    Thanks

    Ok an answer for part of my question. Course length around 36 seconds. Surface looks clean.

    Due to the lot shape they usually have a really hard 180 at one end. If you are already down there its worth a go. I wouldn't drive down there just to do it though.

    The surface is very good. The lot has a slope, in addition to begin narrow. The course we ran was a Roger Johnson design and was pretty entertaining. Definitely going to be in the 30 second range. Overall a nice autox day, but I wouldn't drive 3 hours for it unless you are dying to run or want to get to COTA. The spokes people are terrific and you will have top-notch competition.

    Not worth the drive from DFW. It's a 45-minute drive for me and I won't be bothering to get out of bed for it.

    Lot H is narrow and has some significant elevation changes to it. Courses tend to be out-and-back slalom/offset affairs, and in the low 30-second range. Meh.

    Pretty much this. COTA is an awesome track. And it's a super nice venue. The lot is grippy but small. I wouldn't make the drive again though. Too small for such a haul.
