Those Goodguys autocross layouts are poorly designed. They are trying to put on a spectator show in event locations with limited area. It's a totally compromised situation.

Extremely tight courses with barriers in the run-off areas. :BangHead::wtf:

Just go to a SCCA autocross that are designed for safety and the racers.

Or just remember that you’re there to have fun and you’re not gonna make up that much time at the stop line.

But since they do attract people that don’t have a ton of autoX experience they also have a lot of folks that don’t recognize safety things like that and still go 100% when they should dial it back because of the course.

It would be nice if there was something a little more in the middle, SCCA is working on it with CAM but they’re still super formal for a lot of things and that makes it less approachable for newbies and weekend warriors. But then Goodguys is like a total free for all. If we could just get something that was safe but also less about rule books and season points and standings it would be great. Something so folks could go out and have fun a couple times a year without spending a crap ton of extra money to compete in something that they’re not going to attend enough events to make a difference.
