Make an extra turn around right at the finish, full 360. Sure its slow, but its an extra challenge and obviously solves the speed into the finish issue.

I thought it was a fun course, especially in the afternoon once the thread-the-needle gate was removed.
Having said that, we should keep an eye on our finish speeds. According to my data, I hit 124 km/h through the lights today, and 129 km/h at the last Fort Macleod event! That's really fast given that our finishes there are inevitably pointed at grid.
drive slower? 🤣🤣

I would say that on courses like YYC which easily allow for lunch time course adjustments and changes that we should continue doing so. But as pointed out, some venues like Airdrie have such strict time constraints that making changes just isn't feasible. Having a whole new course in the afternoon, as great as that would be, is seriously time consuming and requires lots of help to get it done efficiently. At local events the majority of people will want more runs to get it right. At YYC for example, having 4 runs morning and 4 runs afternoon with say a direction reversal in the afternoon is really good balance. The people who are wanting a "new" course for the afternoon to help mimic national style events gain that exposure and experience while still retaining 4 runs for newbies and less experienced folks. The small percentage of people wanting only 3 runs morning/afternoon I would suggest taking your talent and experience for your 4th run in a completely different car as a DNF run. Hop into a rookies car or someone in the mid field and show them some better lines and smoother transitions. Alternatively, we could do 3 runs morning/afternoon with fun runs at the end but with some kind of twist, old school Lemans start? A quick but massive variation of the existing course? Ultimately tho I think 4 runs morning/afternoon is the best option for a local event setting.

Don't worry about PAX or class, run open class and just have fun learning the car and meeting other car enthusiasts. After and year or two of consistent running you can start looking at finding a class that fits your goals. What I have been doing is finding people in similar setup cars and just comparing raw times. It also helps going for rides with them in their cars and seeing what they do differently. I had Marco run last event in my car and I learned of 1 crucial spot I've been losing time, the slalom.

We've gotten lots of interest over the last few hours, event is still a go.
Nathan R has the key to the site but isn't attending tomorrow so we'll need someone to grab the key from him.
Negative I do not have the key, never made it to budget today.

I need to pass off the gate key to someone today as I will not be there tomorrow. Can someone please volunteer to go early tomorrow morning and open up for everyone? I will be there at 4pm today until setup is done.

Not running Sunday but heck might as well help out so others can enjoy the nice weather. I'll come Saturday to help out whichever group forms up to handle setup.
