As AndyB said, its hard to make assumptions by not seing it in person,
so I will give it the benefit of the doubt. 

that said,

here are my comments from looking at the drawing:


too many pylons in a lot of places. Its ok to let the driver
choose the line sometimes :^)

also, From Roger the real Johnsons course design handbook,
you generally should make a course that has gates that are on the order
of 20 ft wide. Remember, 15 ft is the SCCA minimum. If you make the gates 
narrow in places to "slow down" competitors, all that will happen is a cone 
killing mess that will bog down timing, give reruns because workers cant 
replace cones fast enough.

Instead make the gates wide, but more out of the way. That will force the cars 
to slow down, but to do a maneuver, not emergency lane change out of the way. 
Not to mention it makes them pick a line, and the better drivers will drive 
better lines.


Finally, what the hell do I know, this is all my opinion,
so please dont flame me.
