Re: Where do YOU practice driving?

I would like to be able to set up and take down a small area of carpet and some field elements after school so our drivers can practice right at school and not have to worry about students transportation issues.
We have in the past tried to use a section of carpet on the school floor but it would just bunch up wasn't very successful. Has anyone had luck with a system that you put down and take up everyday? If so do you have any suggestions.

For the last week or so, we've been clearing a section of the school library (has tight pile carpet) and setting up a field perimeter of tape that's at least 6 feet from anything expensive. Takes about 15 minutes to set up, 15 minutes to take down. It'll work until the real field is finished..
