Ben,
Its been a while since we've been challenged by the type of greater-than-90
degree turns you incorporated in last Sunday's course. I think that kind of
course design diversity is very helpful for maintaining our skills through
the exposure you provided. Practicing the discipline of charging those tight
low-gear (the whole course was low gear for us and, I might add, just fine)
corners as hard as one could, without over-driving into the loose stuff
(well, I did on at least one opportunity), was challenging and stimulating.
As you implied, by your last week's response to some observations about the
3-Com course, you gave us something different. Thanks, it really challenges
both our skills at driving and car set-up.
Not just for you, but for the rest of the list, I've read with interest the
several comments, from folks, about wanting to run "national-type" courses.
In the recent past, we have had challenging features like (modified) chicago
boxes and many imaginative slaloms. When site space allows, we all need, in
order to maintain our skills, some 6+ cone slaloms,straight, curved and
with, occasionally, tighter spacing at the end. Now that takes discipline.
Again, thanks for giving us something different.
Don
