1. Large course design questions (score: 1): Author: "Meyer, Brian J" <Brian.Meyer@Wichita.BOEING.com>; Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 07:47:56 -0500; I have a couple of questions about large courses. For larger sites that have enough space for multiple cars on course (3 or so), how much time do you typically let go by before sending the next car o; /html/autox/1999-05/msg00525.html (8,426 bytes)

I heard someone say it was over a mile long. It seemed like it. It took 20 minutes to walk it. I ran the course in 72.1 on Saturday and was in sixth place in C-Mod.

The Boston Chapter BMW CCA, for example, has a rather long course this year. I'm running it in around 90 seconds. Fastest time la; /html/autox/1999-05/msg00527.html (9,629 bytes)

It's about the smallest possible interval for normal autocross courses.

That puts the fastest drivers averaging just under 50mph and the slower drivers averaging a little over 40mph. Sounds reasonable.

However, the one factor that -must- be paid attention to is the course and how that effects safety. On some courses (not many t; /html/autox/1999-05/msg00533.html (10,726 bytes)

Our course is around 80-90 seconds, depending on the car and driver. I haven't timed it, but we probably wait about 30-40 seconds before starting the next car. The key is that we don't star; /html/autox/1999-05/msg00534.html (10,028 bytes)

Imagine what would happen if the twenty second rule was used. The H Stock Tuga LZ on street tires leaves the line for his 80 second run.

The starter also has to be aware of the cars that are going out on course. Otherwise, you'll be finding a red-flag situation, an; /html/autox/1999-05/msg00536.html (8,577 bytes)

We have big course very often in CalClub and run 3 to 4 cars on course, 20 to 25 second interval as a base. But the started must be; /html/autox/1999-05/msg00550.html (8,931 bytes)

If so, that surely takes away one of the neat aspects of autocrossing: a totally new course to figure out in 3 or 4; /html/autox/1999-05/msg00556.html (7,868 bytes)
