On a lot that size with as many light poles and truck and trailers parked on it we had two choices. Layout a course with speed and sweeping turns that would give a 25 to 30 second run, or a course that was tight and technical that give 50 to 60 second runs. I believe 60 second runs was the right answer. I think everyone enjoyed themselves and learned a lot about how their car handles. We are of course still looking for that charming 5+ acre lot with no saftey issues that we can afford to rent.

That lot is a challenge I realize -- but that course was WAY too tight/twisty. It wasn't good for momentum cars, wasn't good for HP cars (what's that leave? gokarts?), and really didn't have much of a line -- it was just dodging cones.
It was so tight that in any kind of a drift, my tiny Acura would clobber cones with the back wheels! I'd love to see dmano try to get thru there with the El Camino!
