I didn't realize what I had here. Chuck on the charge to the finish...a quarter mile slalom, basicly.

That's the timing light on the left cone....it got broke. Thank God for duct tape.

Was that course set up for use by the learning disabled? (PC term)
I've never seen such an overuse of pointer cones, especially on the slalom.

Paul:
Take it up with the HMFWAIC, I just drive em'.
Pointer cones are used when the direction is not-optional and used here to slow things down. Not my favorite, either. I never hit the limiter in second.
It was done as this was the first AX of the year and a lot of first timers show up. Later in the year they will open things up a bit, I hope.
Ya'll come over & design a course and we'll get it on

Ahh...newbies!! That explains things. I'm used to seeing only one pointer cone at the beginning of a non-optional slalom.
But, I don't get how pointer cones slow things down. Care to enlighten me?

i think what JP is trying to say is that turning those fine cones into "Pointer Cones" during his run slowed him down

I've never even heard of "pointer cones"...I figured the previous car thru must've had a bad oversteer.

"pointer cones" are the ones tipped over on purpose
to indicate the direction/side on which to pass the cone.
i hope i said that right
it sure makes sense to me

The pointer cone in this pic is attempting to point out that this fella is headed in the wrong direction. That's # 14....not me

JP thinks you all ought to see somebody else trying to go the wrong way 'round. Bruce Allert gets the photo credit, I get the blame for the heavy foot.

prolly only jpg and gif work.
I bet you have a bmp.
If you don't have software to convert it, email it to me and I'll send it back as jpg or post it for you.

Bruce, please give it a try from your end. The one I just tried is the smaller one and I believe it is jpg. My other pics post just fine at a larger size from the same file, for example....

Shows what I know! I'll try once more to see what I am doing wrong. Should have been a pic with the last post. Once more (sorry to bore subscribers to this thread while I fumble around).

Still won't accept the other pic. Only difference is the one above was filed straight from my camera, the other was saved to the file from an email attachment. Apparently there is a difference (both are jpg). I'll quit now. Bruce, see if you can post it (by now the whole world should be waiting to see my skill (not)!
