Hi Andrew,

This looks interesting. I was wondering what kind of course gets setup at the training facility (ie..top speeds, length, how tight).

Thanks!

Greetings Jeff!

Course speeds are maybe 60 MPH, and the length is 50 to 70 seconds depending on how good you and the car handle. Courses on this lot are tight to very tight.

I hope this helps.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew....good info. I've done a few of the FedEx Field courses and enjoyed them.

Tight to very tight are certianly a challenge. Do you by chance know how courses compare to the Fed Ex field events?

Sorry Jeff, haven't been to an event at FedEx field in a long time. Come on out and drive, then you can let me know.

On the Google Map I only see a track - is there a parking lot for the CHS autocross events, or do you get to use the track sections?

Just wondering...


(nevermind....I think I spotted the open lot up north of the track facility)
