I might have to borrow them words sometime in the future. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Yada yada look ahead. Newbie advise. 1. Just figure out where you are going. 2. both hands on the wheel unless you are shifting. Then both hands on the wheel again. 3. if the tail gets loose put you right foot down on the gas 4. if the front gets loose lift off the gas a bit followed by back on the gas. 5. if it won't turn increasing the steering wheel input WILL NOT MAKE IT TURN BETTER 6. At all cost enjoy yourself. |

Is there any standard to what the cones mean? Any website that shows what they mean? I've seen one AX where apexes were marked by larger cones. I know that a cone laying down is an arrow "go that way" (unless someone hit it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ).
I've watched a bunch of in car videos, and sometimes I can read the course well, other times I can't figure out what is going on. |

Well, sometimes you need to see it on course to understand what it is saying. Yes, upright cones you have to go around and the ones laying down are pointers cones. You really can't trust the cones for the apex. Really need to figure that out on your own. That's why the AX courses that are lined with calk seem dumb to me. It really seems as if it limits the line you can take. You should come up when we have an AX at Bremerton or go to Pacwood and see. Some of the berst drivers in the nation come from our little area. JP sees the big dogs every time he goes out. I get to see them most of the time but not always.
