Looking at pic 2, I would NOT be comfortable running that course

That light pole pylon/mount/thing is far too close to the course. So are the workers for that matter. Perhaps it's camera perspective, but where your car is, the front tire direction, the gate in that direction with the directional gate just after it... it's putting cars too close, and a loss of grip at the wrong point puts that pylon in the slide path.



Glad you had fun

2 weeks ago a mustang lost control and hit the fence. He was driving like a maniac though. I think he thought it was a drift contest. For the most part its a slow enough course that you can make corrections or stop before anything bad happens.

yea the pics of that are on the cartct page lol. That kid was a loose canon in general, he was next to me in the lot and comes up to me and was like "dude i dont care about cones, i just come here and full ******* throttle it the whole way"

did you see him on one of the last few runs, he douched out hard on the last long turn, ended up spinning around 180, then fish tailed his way back on the course.
