Same layout as last year, maps at the end of the road where you meet Lynda.

FWIW, the "rookie" course isn't just for rookies although that's where all rookies will make their first run.  Slower speed vehicle are politely encouraged to run on the fourth course (last year it was technically called the "special" course) and it's open to those who need to do testing/tuning.  We only run our car to the 2 mile so we'll be running on the fourth course the whole time.

Well that's just as clear as mud. 4th counting from the east? From the west? 4th one mentioned in some unspecified list somewhere? Or are they enumerated on Lynda's maps? :?

The courses run to the East-NorthEast, Nathan. The "Special Course" is farthest South. Yes; they are illustrated on Lynda's maps.
