ForeFlight users can create User Waypoints using the turn point coordinates. Create the waypoints, then put them together to make the route and save it as a Favorite (instructions on how to do that below). Here's what you should end up with:

Please see all screen shots for this turn. The Songers have built a large white hangar on the property and you can't miss it. See more current aerial photo which includes large white hangar and be aware that the tower (antenna) at this turn point is 198' so it is not on the charts.

Here's a current shot of the property with the new hangar:

After crossing the Finish Line, enter Left Traffic to land on the runway in use. If you need to cool down first, extend to the east and then re-enter.

After all racers are recovered there will be lunch and awards, and a candy drop for the Downs Syndrome Indiana families. We hope you will choose to participate after the race.

Here are some helpful tips for creating User Waypoints in ForeFlight - 

I start by entering airport IDs in the Search Bar, then once my general race route is created I select the Aerial Map to get a good look at the turn point, then drag the magenta line there and save the Lat/Lon with a Name and Description. This is called "rubberbanding" and pulls the magenta line to the exact spots for each turn point, saving the Lat/Lon in place of the airport ID.

After I've created all my User Waypoints, saved and named them, I create a Route in the NavLog in Edit Mode.

Then, I "Favorite" the Route by tapping the single star that is to the right of the suitcase (Pack) icon. I named this one INDYAIRRACE2016. This makes it available in my Favorites so I can get to it any time by tapping the double stars at the very top, about the middle.
