Just wanted to let whomever designed todays course know that they did an awesome job. After the disaster that was yesterdays course, I almost didn't come today.
Glad I did.

I agree about todays course. Great job!

I disagree that sat. course was a disaster. It was a good course, and probably what a practice course should be.

Not enough room on Sat course. Absolutely no flow for the first half, and the last wide 180 before the finish was Wayyyyy to narrow.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I personally disagree with yours as does Warren. I really enjoyed it. I though it was one of the funnest courses I've seen. It was really varied; it had everything from fast on the rev limiter cone dodging maneuvers to tight hair pins and it had long enough slaloms that you could actually get a grove going (as opposed to the the 3 cone ones that are not uncommon in SD) and best of all it was long as hell! I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. In my book every day I race (and don't break anything expensive) is a good day.

Loved both days. Learned a lot about my car. I kept hearing how original it was for that lot.

Yes I learned a lot as well, and it was quite original. The only thing I thought was distracting was the over-use of cones about 15sec into the run. Other than that I liked it.

I'll chime in with a new novice's perspective. This weekend was my 3rd time out. I can't judge whether Saturday's course was good or bad, but I'll say I found it quite a bit more challenging to memorize and navigate than Sunday's or the previous two months' courses. It had far more elements than the other courses. I had a lot of fun on both days, but did prefer Sunday's course. A big thanks to everyone who helped with the event.

Thanks for coming down Toby!

Each time you visit it gives us 5-6 weeks of making fun of Jeff K.

Awesome course Jeff, I had a blast with the speed and flow of everything! Plus, there were 2 elements I know I m not so great at, so it was nice to work on those, even though I still did them wrong lol

I really liked the Saturday course. This was my third day so I am a total novice but it had a lot of variety IMO. Great day altogether.
