Stay out of the moonshine, it's screwing up your thought process. It has
been looked at and there at this time is not enough real estate to add
another course. The only option is to run two motorcycles at the same time,
one from each end and use the same clock. As far as cloning me My daughter
already runs the short course and I won't say what she said in regard to
this thread.
