	North Amercian Racewalking Foundation - Road Course Calculator
		The measurement of a road course using the Counter begins and ends with the measurement of an accurately measured calibration course (a straight and level distance of at least 300 meters).
		Measuring the calibration course both before and after the road course measurement is designed to compensate for errors due to changes in tire pressure from thermal expansion and slow leakage.
		Finally, a value equal to one tenth of one percent (.1%) of the road course measurement is added on to insure against having a short course.

	Course Certification
		Courses must be certified to be eligible for any type of age group record, and any runner's PR is only as good as the course being certified.
		The preferred method of measuring a course is with the "Jones-Oerth" counter attached to the front wheel of a bicycle.
		If a course is to be restricted in any way in meauring (such as staying to the right of the road or going wide around a turn, there will need to be monitors, fences, or cones to do so.

	Road racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		True road races are run over what are, in fact, public roads that have been temporarily closed off to the public for the purpose of conducting a race.
		Alternatively, road races can be conducted on purpose-built race tracks that, due to their irregular shapes and many turns and curves, resemble true road courses.
		Petersburg course uses the runway of a small airport as its main straight, and Sebring Raceway, home of the prestigious 12-hour race in March, was formerly a military airfield in Sebring, Florida.

	Road America Road Course - Race Track Events - Popular Hot Rodding Magazine
		The operating costs and manpower needed to open a road course are far greater than their straight line counterparts, so major venues like Road America can't just open their gates for "test 'n tune" and hope enough cars will show up to cover the expenses.
		Road America is one of the premier road courses in the world, so it should come as no surprise that wheel-to-wheel racing events and a throng of well-established sports car clubs have had the prime dates locked up for many years.
		Road America was certainly a learning experience for Michael, as he hit the rev limiter in fourth gear on a few occasions and found he could only run for about 40 minutes on the track before having to stop for gas.

	USATF Road Race Course Measurement Accuracy
		USATF course measurement procedures are designed to insure that the actual distance for a race is at least the advertised distance, meaning "not short"; by USATF standards, it should be accurate to within one tenth of one percent when compared to a known accurate course.
		This course is measured by using a series of surveyor's steel tape measurement lengths and then adding or subtracting distance by using a math formula which takes into account the effect of temperature on expansion or contraction of the steel tape.
		Courses should be measured from finish to start because finish line area details are usually more complex and the finish line needs to be established before the start line is precisely located.

		When calculating the measurement factor for the bike counter, a "Short Course Preventiona Factor" 1/10 of 1% is included in the calibration constant.
		The only fee required for certification is $25, which covers review of the course and maintaining a central file of maps and information.
		Cerfification is good for the life of the course; a recent change is that courses must now be reviewed every 10 years to ensure changes have not been made on the course.

	Spatial Methods for Road Course Measurement
		The purpose of this experiment was to determine the precision of the JO counter for a straight flat section of road.
		As course measurers are aware, the major uncertainty with the calibrated bicycle method is not with the precision of the JO instrument itself, rather the subjective definition of the shortest possible route by the measurer.
		The red line correctly shows the start of the course (it was marked with painted lines on the bitumen) but the DGPS was unable to precisely define the starting location and was incorrect by several metres.
