sorry that does not seem to be possible now

Moti. that would be for the new exec to decide not us. We will have our AGM soon and then the new exec will handle the last event for the year with some help from the old exec.

The dex 5 course would be up to the head of solodex, why not try something with a twist

a standard course for all solodex events or just BYCC events?

cause if it's just for BYCC events which is all ready established then that's OK
as i look at the BYCC events as a practice event.(standard practice track will help to know if you're improving)

however if its for competition events as well then that won't be any fun Confused

Ryan well since you put in in that perspective i will agree with you.
that way even pros like you will not do any DNF's Laughing Laughing

it will also make the competition a lot tighter because once you get familiar with the course there will be no excuse.
same course for the whole year sounds OK.

but please relocate the pit and parking area cause i don't think i can handle that mud again Embarassed

I like the idea of using the same course through the year and maybe change it up for BYCCs. The membership can then vote at the end of the year (at the AGM) if to change the course for next year or to revert to the different courses for each event.

Laughing Laughing Laughing

but seriously won't they be getting their .ass cut any how?
with the same course i believe the people who don't have the skill as yet
will get the skill.
you get your .ass cut this event you will learn what you did wrong by the fourth run so at the next event you will know what not to do.

so yeah i support the same course idea.

Yup... and that is just why the same course would be great. Like crix said... drivers can learn and improve on their mistakes.
When all the competitors in a class are fractions of a second apart then we know the level has been raised.

I propose setting 2 courses to alternate through the year. The BYCC will be the same course as the competition event to follow. That way competitors get the equivilent of a practice day and as a result less DNFs.Also more new compitetors will be encouraged... when they run the course in BYCC they will be more confident to come out for the competition event and run the same course (now that they know it)

I like the discussion and the points being raised, but IMO variety is the spice of life....
i like the idea of a constant course for a BYCC to test and tune your driving and a change up of the course for each dex...to me solodex teaches you how to read the course while you drive....

though variety is a "spice of life" sometimes you only need black pepper and salt for seasoning.

take me for example
bycc events are great because i already know the course, so i tend to do all kinda stuff to vary my times (when the timing system is up) but that's what a bycc is for

but for a competition event you only got four runs which is (to me) not enough Embarassed
with a standard course you will have that course stuck in your head so when competition events come around you don't have to use your first and or second run getting used to the course (or in my case all four Embarassed ) so you will be functioning at your fullest Razz .

^^ i understand but remember this is autocross.....not circuit racing. The very nature of the sport is based on varying courses and adapting driving style to suit. Dont take the short cut way by just practicing one course to get better....look at the guys at dex that win regularly regardless of the course......as you dex more you will be able to take advantage of any course right from the first run......look at ryan P, amir, vishnu, jodi......all these guys do what i am talking about. From their first run they make impressive times and they have never run the course before nor has the rest of the competition. What i am saying is.....with experience you and anyone else will get better, it just takes time. Use the bycc's to do practice. It is a set course for the bycc....come and run all day and learn to handle your car, so that when posed with another course your mind will already know how to approach a certain type of corner without ever actually driving the corner before.....its all about practice.

I totally agree with you Chris.
When someone gets to comfortable with the same course it becomes only competitive to those that already can drive.
Therefore i would like to keep a level playing field by having a different course at Dex and may be the same course for BYCC.

Using the same course may also allow one to play around with suspension settings/tyres in order to ascertain the best set up for a particular course and learn from it and possibly apply it to other courses.

and what Crix said as well. Very Happy


but on the other hand...running one course may become lil boring...

good points chris.
