Reply to "Parking Lot Road Courses"

davidfoxMember

I agree with Matthew's comments regarding parking-lot road courses being easier to coordinate with police, road blockage, etc. I'm considering a new mile course that would be totally contained within a large parking lot.

But the wording in regulation 6 sounds very much like parking lots would *not* be allowed. The inclusive use of specific words "streets, roads, paths" do not describe a parking lot situation.

I'm concerned that, if I certify a parking lot course now, the regulation 6 definition might be used against me later to remove my road-course designation.

A similar situation happened to me just recently. I had a track-based road course that was measured, certified and approved as a USATF road course in 2001. Now I've been told that the course cannot be considered a road course, even though it was accepted using the understanding of the definition in 2001.

I would like to see the regulation 6 wording modified so that there's very little left up to interpretation.
