in Autocross? With the 835 lb car, the cones let you know they were hit!!
Lousy picture... but look at the front right tire. I did not even feel the hop, I just saw it in a video. I never saw quite the same reaction from my Solstice when hitting cones... and I've hit a few.. sigh

Great picture! Wait 'til you lose it in a box, do a 360, taking out the WHOLE far end of the box. Solo Vees are so much more fun than door slammers! You have to figure out a way to get some in car video, then you can relive the best and worst.

hehe... just wait till you hit one just right, and it comes up the nose of the car, and catches you in the helmet!!! LOL

I once went through an entire event (6 runs) without hitting a cone. If Las Vegas were putting odds on me having a clean day versus the Miami Dolphins winning the Superbowl last year, smart money would be on the Dolphins.
You don't know how close you can get to them if you don't hit them.....

Yep... As my start to times drop, & I am getting used to this car, I am starting to tag some cones. I'll wear my first helmet cone mark with pride
