Course Design:The lots we use can contain light poles, drainage grates, and misc. objects to design around.
And as such, for safety concerns, the final course design needs to be reviewed by an experienced course designer. VMSC follows SCCA course safety guidelines as defined in the VMSC Speed Event Regulations and the SCCA National Solo Rule Book (section: Solo II Rules\Solo II Events). These guidelines outline the proper safety distances, and more, to ensure a safe and insured event.
