    Man... if this is what a Nationals course is like, I've got some serious learning to do. I definitely enjoyed the challenge, but it really revealed how much I need to improve my smoothness and brake modulation. The courses I've done well at over the last few months were a bit too forgiving, I'm thinking.

    Ok, here are my thoughts.

    Loved the elevation changes.
    Hated the gravel. I don't think it will ever get better.
    The course was awesome. I would defintely call it a national style course.

    However! The slaloms were not. In my six years of autocrossing I have never seen such tightly spaced slaloms. Huge dissapointment and they ruined what otherwise might have been a national caliber course.

    ratt_finkel -> <- jrj512

    Other than jrj512 I don't think you will find anyone who disagrees with you on that one ratt_finkel.

    But jrj512 does try very hard and considering his "limitations" he does a pretty good job.

    I agree with you on the gravel. I don't think it's going away. It will be interesting when SCCA runs a regular event there!

    As far as this course being like a national level event. First, Jerret has been designing some awesome courses and this one was no exception. But this course it was extremely crazy horsepower friendly. An ST/STS/ES car would have needed a mid 64 second run to take top pax and that would be pretty impossible. Those 3 tight U turns were absolute kryptonite for momentum cars. On top of that in some places the correct line for momentum cars was covered in gravel...

    So has the Yaris been included in the recall yet? Or would anyone even realize that the accelerator was stuck on one?
