    We can run this course in a safe and effective manner. We will adjust as necessary to address all safety concerns. Please be aware that any course maps posted by any club are only a general idea of how the course will be set up.

    It looks like a REALLY fun course. To me, I think running it in reverse might be a smarter and safer decision but in doing so it would require a large rewrite of the first and last 5 seconds. However, if the fearless leaders have a plan for success, then I'm behind it.

    Brad, one of my goals was to avoid finishing near the grandstands, as that has presented a few problems for other clubs. As Andy said, the map is approximate. You guys all know that. ER has a terrific safety record, and that will not be compromised. As always, we welcome input on safety after you've walked the actual course.

    Running it in reverse and softing up the tight sections, and tighten up the wide open parts then it would be a good course.

    Totally understand that first point. Personally, I think loops can be really fun when done right. Thanks for your work designing a course!

    I appreciate the offer but I've had Autocross Royalty in my car before. I find it very hard to concentrate while trying to resist the overwhelming urge to do the Wayne's World "I'm not Worth" salute.

    I have run 2 other events since my run in with the Germany Lady. I'm happy to report I have not gotten lost at either event. I'm not sure if it's the "What are you Doing?" screams still vibrating in my head or having been taught to "Look FORWARD" that have resolved my getting lost issues. I'm sure it's probably a little of both.

    Sigrid will be at the BMW event at Mineral Wells on Saturday in case you want to hook up with her again.

    I've told you before. Don't F*** with Sigrid. You will learn the meaning of the Iron Maiden if you do. I like the course. Good job Mikey.

    The event is still at Dallas Raceway as planned. No need to change sites.

    I appreciate the feedback on the course design from you guys. We made a couple of tweaks. Mike cried again.

    I liked the other course. This one looks like every other course at DRW. But I will still like driving it because it is the best course I can find on Sunday.

    Exactly. And it could be DR's swansong...

    Just a quick note: Classes that are already required to be on street tires are not eligible to run in Tire class. These are STS, STR, STX, etc... You can run any other class in Tire class at ER events.
