It is smaller than Candlestick. Even Winton Ramp, as most places are.
However, a regional event would probably require a bit less paddock space
than we used for the Tour and Pro, leaving enough room to make a 60 sec.
course possible. There would be fewer cars to park and fewer people with
tow rigs. Heck, you could design a small course in the spot left vacant by
Scotty B's palace on wheels:):):)

Atwater is smaller than Candlestick. To get a course of that time length,
you'd have to snake around a lot, not matter what site we use.
