Default Someone mind doing an AX layout?

Manufacturing has moved to another plant, so we have a pretty big empty parking lot here. Never done any AX so don't know what a good one would look like. Here is layout of parking lot with estimated size:




Suggestions?

If you don't tear the fence down beforehand, it will certainly tear itself down in short order.

It may look big, but at speed it’s not enough space. Most of the clubs I run with try and keep 75 feet from any hard object like fences, poles, curbs or other cars.

Thanks. It just looks bigger, but I guess at speed maybe not. It wasn't going to be a formal AX, just something for myself to work on hand and car control. May set up some chicanes anyway. Found a couple of good reads on google.
