Story time with Randy reminded me of why I like being a Tarheeler.

Kevin and Chris, you guys did a great job with the course. Lots of fun even though I coned away my fastest run!

To everyone, I appreciate your patience with us in the bus. We are still running into glitches now and then and unfortunately it takes a couple of minutes ot fix them. I apologize to everyone who was out on course while we had the printer problem. Thanks for bearing with us.

Looking forward, it seems like there is a desire to have a course design where "Less is more". Would it upset the applecart to have a low 30 second course at Greenville that had fewer elements?

Im not saying thats whats gonna happen but my personal goal is to win the award for fewest cones used in a weekend, seriously.


Ryan,

Think two laps per run. We've done it at Morrisville on a tiny lot and we used to do it at the Fairgrounds in Raleigh. I learned at a site in California that was slightly smaller than Greenville and always used multiple laps to keep the speeds and run times reasonable (30 to 60 mph for Stock and Street Prepared).

Greenville lends itself to multiple lap runs with relatively few but fairly open turns per lap (think minature road race track). By not having to "nest" the course inside itself to get enough distance you can have faster speeds while maintaining plenty of room to the fence and other obstacles (such as course worker stations :wink: ) Also, Finishes can be quick when you have plenty of shut down space available.

Does it have to be that long a launch interval and if so how does that compare with a "nested" one lap course at Greenville? I seem to recall 20 to 30 second laps in California where the overlap car went out when the finishing car was less than halfway through its second lap. Worst case the launch interval would be about 45 seconds. I guess that is too long.
