second this....
I was down there earlier this year and place just continues to degrade. Sad really....
I guess you can't expect something built in a hurry 70 years ago and left out in rain/snow/sun since to be in very good shape now. I found this signature during a course walk at our Nov 2011 event.

I've had a lot of fun at that site. I helped with our first clean-up day there (looked a lot like Jordan's photo, only wetter) and ran my first autocross there the next week. I almost went off sideways in the "P" during my 3rd run. Only nineteen years later, I scored my first FTD there, courtesy of a generous co-drive offer from Mr. Shultz. In the meantime, I survived, heat, cold, torrential rains and high winds, too much sun, insects, smoke from a burning building adjacent to the site, a farmer spraying chemicals on the field inside the course during an event, and dodged the abandoned cars that used to line runway. I rode to Hardees with Les once and lived to tell.
As an A/X VP, I instructed Sybyl and Kelly, the event chairs/trophy queens

for an NCAC event there, to "remove every 3rd cone" since the initial tech runs pointed to a 60+ second launch interval. It worked. The next day, Rob Faulkner came up to me after his first run, wearing a
huge grin, and announced that his 944 S2 was going 93 MPH entering the last slalom on the taxiway. I'm pretty sure Charlie ended up in the weeds that day, as did Randy Melton.
