your pointers in the loop of death are angled incorrectly... LOLErvin Carder

The direction should be angled so as to be seen by the angle of attack. Like so.
I just realized that sounded richardish, with the LOL, didn't mean that. Course looks fun.Ervin Carder

If you are looking far enough ahead the directionals are good, but I see your point. Actually the pointers on the inside of the circle should be commanding your attention. Anything else is decoration and penalties for those who go too fast on the skidpad.Originally posted by Erv View PostThe direction should be angled so as to be seen by the angle of attack. Like so.

I have to put in a comment (coming from many years of trying every variant of course design). Crossovers will severely limit the speed at which you can get a second car on course. First, you need to wait for the first car to clear the crossover. Second, you may have a delay if someone hits something before they exit the feature with the crossover. The only place where I have had minimal success with a crossover is at the very first of a course. It looks fun but you will be stuck with one car on course most of the time. If that is OK, then it should be no problem.Bill Clinton "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

And for the crossover, I would use a more distinct "X" with pointer cones on each side of the entrances (going in the the skidpad and exiting skidpad) like you would mark a gate. This will be easier to visualize and help to minimize DNFs while retaining the integrity of the course. Just another suggestion if the above suggestion is not utilized....Bill Clinton "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

I agree about the limiting factor of cars on course. My goal is to lengthen the course so we're not done in 28 seconds. Originally since TVR had an event on the same date, I was figuring a smaller turnout where 1-2 cars on course wouldn't be a problem. Since they changed their date and some TVR drivers may be in attendance, I will revisit the design and adjust accordingly. Clay, you coming to the event?Originally posted by claym View PostJohn W8

I am scheduled at hospital that day, but will try to swap with someone. Would love to come help with setup...
You could always just have like 2 90 deg pivot cones instead of crossover and keep course about same length and style...Last edited by claym; 06-13-2012, 12:46 PM.Bill Clinton "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

Upon further review...
After consultation with the Great One, I give you the Temple of Zoom.
Again this is subject to change. Only for presentation purposes... or is it?

That looks nice. The only thing is that appears to be a somewhat short area to shutdown...might have to pull the lights a little closer up. But it looks fun and fast!Nick StoneComment
