I recently traveled to adjust three courses that I’d measured years ago. They needed to have their finish lines relocated from a busy highway into the parking lot of a shopping center. This was a simple job, as all I had to do was to establish two reference points and measure both the old and new finish paths.
This was the limit of the job I had contracted to do.
However, there was a complication that bothered me. Two of the three races had been originally set up to run in the reverse direction. This posed no problem for overall accuracy, but it left the original splits useless. I elected to do a check ride of the two courses and set down new splits. Was this necessary?
