Disclaimer first of all - I wasn't at the race meeting and I didn't see the track.
BUT dismiss the concerns of the people who found the open crossover difficult at your peril!
The real art of building a track is to make it straightforward for a beginner to get around, while also being challenging for a good driver.
It should NEVER be challenging for a good driver, but IMPOSSIBLE for a beginner.
That means half of the racers on the day are not having fun. And if people don't have fun they won't come back.
Rhythm sections, well spaced triples etc are easy to navigate at low speed but can also be taken at high speed by skilled drivers. Things like a crossover can never be taken at low speed. And don't forget that people have to marshal safely too.
Basically, if you couldn't get around the track with a box-stock Tamiya Hornet you have the wrong layout!
