Glad you enjoyed it, we ran something like 600 timed laps a day to get all the cars through the competition.
Yes the locals knew the parking lot but not necessarily the AX course for the Parade.
PCA had a rule if we pre-ran the course we were not eligible to enter the Parade AX.
Yes I helped pre-run and fine tune the track but no one actually pre-ran the course in advance of racing on it during the Parade.
I remember some highly stressed lightweight 914 race cars that were nearly melting down after a 60 second lap.
Very sad that parking lot AX location is no longer available.
Long ago it was the largest parking lot used for AX west of the Mississippi.
I enjoyed the slope and camber changes it offered.
