Keeping in mind that this thread is specifically requesting opinions, mine is as follows, FWIW.
I didn't attend the Test & Tune, so I can't comment. I did attend the first points autocross a couple weeks ago and, in hopes of not offending the guys who designed the course, didn't care for it. While I agree that the tight "stop and go" course design was good for learning the rewards of patience and the correct line, a faster, more flowing course offers other/different advantages. The characteristic that concerned me most w/ the short course was the extremely rough surface, especially at the entrance to the first set of offsets. After hearing about several of our members spending a good part of a weekend patching concrete prior to the event, I was surprised to be running on the roughest Laurinburg course I can remember and honestly concerned about ripping out a rear sway bar mount (a known problem w/big aftermarket bars on the WRX/STI chassis).
Since VMP is no longer on our schedule, Laurinburg is the only location we have the opportunity to run a "big" course, and I for one absolutely love the big courses we've run there the past few seasons (the ones either starting or ending in the "P" section). The fast sweeper and fast slaloms we've run with that type of course layout, especially with all that grip, are a blast.
Again, I hope my opinions above do not offend, and thanks to everyone who has designed and set up our courses at all the locations we run. Our courses are always very safe and fun, which really says a lot.
