Re: Jan 18 autocross at VMP!

Personally I think it's a smart choice to not run if you have a known problem with your car. Spend your time and money getting it ready for VIR in Feb!

Our course designer for Sunday is multi-time SCCA national autocross champion Mike "Junior" Johnson from Evolution Performance Driving school. He was also on that Speed channel show "Setup 2" for those of you who have cable.
He probably has a course design in mind, but it won't become reality until about 10:30 Sunday morning. Trust me though, we're in good hands, he's an awesome course designer.
His last course design for us at VMP looked like this:

...which means we will probably run the opposite direction (counterclockwise) this time around, but there may be some similar elements to the course itself.
We will have at least half an hour for course walking, but hopefully more. My advice is to walk it at least twice, and throw away your first run making sure you know which way it goes.
Mufasa is right though, part of the skill is being able to see it and figure it out and get it right quickly. Although we offer more runs than many groups, which makes that easier in some ways.

LOL, what's the hurry? Plenty more HPDE's this year...
Hyperdrive + Circuitcross is a great intro, and will certainly be a blast.
Just my opinion of course.
