edrach Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 My eldest was googling around on the computer the other day and found this. It looks quite possible that the satellite photo was taken on the Saturday of the rallycross school. I thought it'd be interesting. http://www.google.com/maps?q=NE+34th+Ave+at+NE+Cornell+Rd+Hillsboro+97124&spn=0.008508,0.010450&t=k&hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hmmm interesting. Is that the layout that they had for the school with the long straight on the back? If you look you can kind of see courses from rallycrosses past still kind of engrained in the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 It's really hard to tell. I thought the stuff in the lower left was due to the short "options" like the figure 8 section that's pretty obvious. There was a quick complete run at the end of Saturday's lessons that could have been what is seen but two people on the ORG message board think this view is from two or three years ago. Google has their watermark 2005 all over this, but I couldn't say when the actual satellite view was captured. Hmmm interesting.

Qman Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I don't remember any courses like that last year. The figure eight was in the lower right.(Furthest point away from the hotel) Upper left was braking section. Middle bottom left was sweeping right hander. Middle right was skid pad. Upper right was slalom. I think it has to be from at least 2002 or 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetterFan Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Niki Grist has a really good rally school that has produced a couple of outstanding driver in the JWRC and other forms of Rally. There are a few other good rally schools, but I haven't seen any in the US. They are pretty expensive too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
