Designing a championship-caliber autocross course is more than just slapping a few pylons on pavement. Roger Johnson is the most prolific course designer in Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals history, and literally wrote the book on top-notch autocross course design. He’s also a whiz at putting high-quality courses on challenging or suboptimal sites.

This week we’re going to discuss autocross course design with Roger on Grassroots Motorsports LIVE! Presented by CRC Industries. Join us live Wednesday, August 2, at 9 p.m. EST on the Grassroots Motorsports Facebook and YouTube hubs.

A decade ago, I may have joined this viewing, and had a pretty open debate.

Alas, the last autocross I competed in was 2012, and the last course I designed was probably 2011.

Just pretend you're watching it after a season 3 episode of Breaking Bad to put yourself in that 2011 mood.
