Those different courses are submitted by members, racers (past/present/future), persons who willing to give the time to try something for others. In other words not just the exec.
I notice you beyotch about courses. when they published "me eh like dat" " dat boring" "bleh". Yet I've never seen you submit one. Have you?
one........... wow............ at the thinking, and two didn't the persons you think responsible for all courses during your short experience, also compete?chris1388 wrote:The way I see it your comment does not even seem to be a fair idea, since a member who is also a competitor on the day can be biased and design a course to suit his/her car.

mazdamaniac wrote:It is also true that any interested person can do a course design and submit it to the Head of SoloDex for consideration. I designed the whirl pool course last year and submitted it to Reyos and I competed on it. Any experienced SoloDexer can confirm that a course designed on paper and mentally driven is vastly different when laid out on a car park and actually driven.

Tough luck to that man?
Part of the sport has always been to interpret and navigate a new course on competition day, this has always set us apart from other forms of the sport.
There were a handfull of novices last driving school if so many, so are you altering the solodex concept for 5 to 6 people?
MG Man wrote:sorry eh but I have to agree with chris on this one
the BYCC will basically become free practice before the actual dex event, giving a clear advantage to those who can attend the BYCC.........why must it be the same course? Isn't the driving school all about learning to handle different corners, understanding the cone convention etc?
If you guys think it will increase the competition, why not just run the same exact course every event?
chris1388 wrote:My point is this a decision that goes against the entire solodex concept in that a new course is used every competition event. Yet the exec felT the need to simplu overide the members and go ahead and make this change.
Why were we not aked, alerted or made to vote on such a matter. All I hav seen thus far in this thread is the comittee members peten anthony vishnu backinh this up.
And the justification for this is the novices? Whom are few in numbers

There will always be persons who would miss an event for one reason or the other. The onus is on the competitor to attend the events. That is life and we all have dealt with it and will continue to deal with it.
