Keyan,

Levi, best guess is this a get in 2nd and stay there track or required shifting? (^ has an issue shifting)

Last year had a handful of first gear spots and its possible that this course will as well, but it should be more a preference thing than a necessity thing this year. This course is easily an all 2nd gear course if not a 2nd gear and a little of third.

However if you are a competitor that experiences issues downshifting I strongly recomend adjusting your line to account for that. There aren't many super tight corners to this layout aside from the start/stop area, so as long as you don't overcook the corner entry and have to nearly stop to turn you should be able to stay in 2nd without too much bog on acceleration.

This layout though technical in elements should feel more novice friendly.

^ sounds AWSOME! can't wait.

So time is getting closer and it looks like I have only one volunteer as Von will be occupied with the swap meet. Is Boomer the only one that will be volunteering?

I'll be sending out an email to all of the autocrossers later today I'll mention that we are looking for track setup help.

I'm sure Di Bari will help.

Levi, you can have at least 2 committee members. I think I need one of us at registration and one at the swap meet, but the other two can go with you.

I've cross posted this to the NG facebook pages and the 3sgto facebook page.

Watch them for offers to help.

Count me in. I'll help with set up.


Bob-

Sweet, I appreciate the extra help guys.

And Bob thanks for volunteering, it will be worth it.

No problem. Like you said it will be of help in learning the course if you help set it up.
