the course wasn't a challenge - I rode with Ken and his times were competitive in the pro class and I can assure you that he was working hard and had no time to drive one handed. He actually caught the car ahead of him.
SCCA's courses seem to be a blend of speed and handling. That course was a 2nd gear course and drive. If you were one-handing it, you need to work on using the pedal on the right (aka - the go-fast pedal).
Although I didn't drive the course, I did walk it with the novice group. It was straight-forward until you applied speed. Then it became a different ballgame. And, from the AX tracks that I've seen, they do tend to favor higher speed handling.
As for stone chips, they can happen in your driveway. I push my car, but also take car of it and keep it clean. If chips are a concern, then I'd recommend the 3M clear bra or a similar product that John Heckman is carrying at Holbert's.
