Seriously, there are mines.

And mimes.
LOL! Ours are steadily getting better, but they haven't always been the best to prepare drivers for National level events. Our course designs are limited by our lots, which aren't always the biggest (one exception being the Danville Airport lot which is huge).

Random find -- came across this pic someone snapped of me and Kevin doing a course walk that morning. Great guy who I hope to run against more in the future!

Yeah - definitely no comparison between Fedex and that lot. Wasn't trying to imply the lot had any major elevation changes.

This was about as off-camber as the lot got:
