I think it's common at early school sessions for the instructors to mark the
breaking points, turn-ins, apexes, track-outs, etc. with cones to help the
students find their way around. Sometimes the cones work all too well. To
be fair, somebody else hit the cone first, knocking it onto the track, but
Chris did a great job with the rebound.

Joe,
Why were there cones on the track ? The last time I put my car on a
track
that had cones I hit one. Caused lots of damage to the underside of my car
and almost tipped my over. At that point, I vowed never to race on a
track
that had cones, and I'm sticking to it.
Richard

Yes . . . snow on Thursday and cold on Friday, but by Saturday it was
warm
again mid-day, in the 50's. Actually turned out to be a good racing
(School) weekend. Clear both day, just a little chilly. In fact, we
never
even set-up the canopy.
Please welcome Chris "Conehead" Hodde . . . the latest "Classmate" from
Texas. Conehead made and finished every session and was running a nice
pace
and making clean, safe passes . . . save one incident with a cone!
We hope to see Coney at the National races by year-end 2007
We also identified a solid new class prospect in Darryl "Scooter" Reese,
who
also crewed for Chris all weekend and Mark Nixon (FA) all season,
including
the Run-Offs. Scooter currently runs a Porsche 944 in ITE and PCA, but
is
looking for a fast and affordable open-wheel class. Scoots lurks on this
list, so please lay the sales pitch on him thick!
