Here the Spring TX track Layout.

Sweet, this looks more like the old course where you passed through half of it twice. That will probably mean less total runs, but a longer time on-course for each run.

Looking forward to it!

Did they change anything? Looks pretty much the same to me. Are all the good guys courses this tight? Are they intentionally trying to keep the speeds down? It just looks brutally tight. One of the best amateur runs I saw a couple years back was in an old Mini Cooper - the course was about the right size for that car.

I think the layout at the Dallas Karting Complex in Caddo Mills would be less brutal.

It looks the same as last spring, but last fall was very different. You didn't pass through the straight in the middle twice, so it was a 45 second or so course. That allowed them to get more total runs through the course, but took away part of it which I enjoyed (the 2-pass course).

And I wouldn't call the course 'tight'. I can run it in first or second gear, which is ok for me.

Given the space constraints that they have to deal with, I think they do a pretty good job of maximizing the space available while keeping it pretty safe.

Thanks, Fast and Safe is what we are trying to do. Remember this is for everyone that comes to the event and not just racers. We want everyone to get involved. Goodguy Ed

Course looks awesome Ed. A lot like the old course as Bryan mentioned. I like the addition of the cone at the end of the straight versus the single cone in past years. Now we just need to get the cars ready! ...Bryan that includes you too!!!

I like the new layout as it appears that the really high HP guys won't be able to use all their power with slower track speeds and more handling required.

Thanks for posting the layout!
