For those who would like to try their hand at sketching out a course, attached is a properly scaled map of the AutoClub Speedway lot.
Attached is the blank form that I use to make the course map. The faint vertical lines match the approximate North-South parking stripes. The horizontal lines are the same spacing, but don't match up with anything painted on the asphalt. They are just for reference.

But yes, it was filmed with the intent of being for public use.
... with Rogers permission ?

All the maps are nice but there's one thing missing. It's the mapping of the known flaws and/or bumps in the lot. I believe that those issues have been plotted out and that one or more people have that information in their possession. If you happen to be one who possesses that info, I would kindly request that you might make arrangements to marry that to the plot plan for all to see. Thanks in advance from all future course designers.

Any chance this is going to get posted somewhere? I couldn't make the school, but I'd love to see the video.
As pointed out, this will take some time to make presentable. There's over 4 hours of material. And everyone involved has to have a say before anything is released. Don't count on it as a stocking stuffer...... :lol:
