Sorry, no course map here, but here is how I remember it.

South course starts with 50 foot straight with a 90 degree right, now were heading down the west side of the course with a 3 cone slalom and a transition back to the right 30 degree's with a 3 cone slalom, slight 10 degree transition back to the right into another 3 cone slalom with an immediate 20 degree bend back to the left into a small straight, then a 90 degree bed to the right with six of these 3 cone slaloms, the 6 sets of 3 cones(within a couple feet of one another) come in -aligned pairs with the 2nd and third pairs going immediately to the left offset probably 30 feet or so, the course map didn't show this very accurately, at the end of this very long transitional slalom, now your on the east side of the course where you'll enter into a 180 degree wide sweeper back toward the center with a short straight into a 90 degree very long sweeper that can be ran as a nice straightaway witht he correct line, then, into a 180 degree medium sweeper with a medium straight that bends about 30 degree's back to the right, at the end, it whips back to the left about 110 degree's thats fairly tight into a very short straight into a 90 degree left turn with a long straight back towards the south, at the end of the straight, its a 90 degree left into a 6 cone slalom with a 90 degree turn at the end into the finish, the last 2 90 degree turns have no cones to designate the line.

I'm sure it doesnt help much but its better than nothing. :-)))

I'll try to have a GPS map of at least one course up tomorrow, possibly both, not sure yet though if Schotz will be running the G2extreme tomorrow.

I tried walking with the g2extreme today to get a GPS map of the south course, but I had some power problems and was unable to get an accurate map.

I just uploaded a copy of the North course to the Files section of the Evolution-Discussions Yahoo group.  I don't have the South.

I'm sitting here in the paddock at Forbes right now while we have a lightning delay. Major squall line coming through with heavy strikes all around. They pulled all the course workers just before sending the first cars of the first heat. Rain is constant but not heavy (think Pacific NW). Should be a constantly drying course when they actually begin.

--Andy

Very interesting at Turn 1 "decision point". I would have to walk it but I think that there might be 2 good choices there.
Let us know which way most people pick please.
Thanks for the weather update.
I feel bad that it is raining/then drying.. One of my buddies in ES is car #1...UGH!

I've been polling people as they walk the north course, and its been about 50-50 as to which way people are planning to go.

When we set this up back in the spring, we spent about 30 minutes tweaking that section until the test driver felt it was equal each way.  My personal opinion is that it will depend on whether you have a momentum car or a high-horsepower vehicle.  And also how dirty the two lines get from folks going the other way.

Andy, the course looks fun!  We'll see when I get I fly in tomorrow how I really feel about it.

Although I did not drive particularly well, those were the best 2 courses I have seen at Nationals in the 5 years I have been going. Great use of space, great flow, good speeds!

regards,

I've only been going for three years now, but I'd agree!


--Donnie

agreed, loved those courses. never figured out the north, and video shows i drove the south pretty poorly. oh well, there's always next year! only complaint on the north was the visuals coming up to the showcase turn. a little tougher then i thought it should be picking out the entry. otherwise, two thumbs up!
