I'm not really qualified to comment on the course since I'm a novice at this. I seemed to me that it was a fairly tight course w/ a series of random esses on both sides of a non-symetrical sweeping left-to-right turn at the mid point.

I don't see a single Modified-class car in the results, and only 3 Improved-class cars. That's why Mike could win TTOD. He's a good driver, I've known him for years, but if Bob Bertrand had showed up, or Steve Lutz (someone told me he moved back east or something?), his stock Boxster S would not have had a chance.
If you're a novice, try one of the OCR events at El Toro, or come down to San Diego for one. There will be good instruction and more interesting courses. Better yet, sign up for the next Performance Driving School down here Nov. 16-18th. It's the best money you could spend on your car.

Tom,
You described the Camarillo layout perfectly.
I will be running at El Toro next month (10/21) w/ the Orange Coast Region. I recently transferred my PCA 'alliance' from the LA Region to the OCR. I'll be one of the most senior (in age) but still enjoying a good ride.
Hope to meet up w/ you there if you plan on attending.

ps. I was at the AX event at Qualcomm during the recent Porsche Parade. As a matter of fact I did the Michelin Tire Test on the other side of the parking lot a few times. That is what got me back into AX. I used to 'campaign' a 1961 Corvair Monza in the early 60's. Got away from it when I got married and we started raising family.

So a typical Camarillo airport course--up and back on the runway, with some squiggles thrown in the middle? When I ran the Zone 8 series for a few years, I skipped that event because it wasn't very interesting. I notice that over half the entries were "X" class. Without them, SBR would probably lose money on it.
