Course looks interesting, and long.
I do have a question. How many cones do we have?
It seems like there will be a lot of cones needed for this course.
Just an observation.
Thanks for the design Rob.

Rob knows our cone limits and always uses as few as he can.
That said, setup will be Friday afternoon, anyone one to help out?

I'm not sure of the exact time yet, but I'm shooting to be at Carowinds by 1:30.

Having never been to Carowinds, I assume there is space not shown on the map available for us to use for grid and paddock?

Yes, lots of room for grid... look at the lower left area...

this place is ginormous. plenty of room for everything didnt they put that new coaster where we used to paddock though? that overhead shot doesnt look to include it. didnt know if that had been accounted for or maybe its just a bit smaller? still lots of room for everything

Looks like the coaster intrudes on the former course area - not the former grid/Paddock area - also looks like the new coaster is also drawn in on the left side of Rob's course map.
area left for grid/paddock is enormous
Cheers, Jack Mc

Looks like there are grassy nolls now where grid used to be. That is interesting. We may have lost that walking spectator area that was protected by concrete pillars. We will have to see when we get there though.
Collin, thank you for the updated sat shot.

I figure grid will be to the west of the grassy areas, but won't know for sure till Friday. Looks like there are openings at the top and bottom of the grass areas, so we should have good separation between grid and course.
We're certainly not space limited at Carowinds!
The area from the bump south is larger than Michelin.

Do you need any help with the set-up? If so, what time will you be there Friday?

Post by lagunamiata on Nov 11, 2010 13:52:30 GMT -5
Yes we will need help! Rob is taking off work at lunch time, truck and trailer should be there about the same time.
I'd say 1:00 - 1:30 time frame should be good.
I mentioned this to Brian, whoever gets there first needs to go to the security building and they will go around and (hopefully) open the gate off Carowinds Blvd.
