The best way to do the side courses is the "bring a cone buddy". Find a dancing partner and take turns.

The worker is there just for safety ... making sure only one car is in the "pen" at a time.

Saturday will remain focused entirely on the Motorsport event. We will have a separate slalom practice area on Sunday.

Re: Motorsports Event - Free Practice!
Having been in charge of this event the prior 4 years, I do not recommend this. Your getting a free practice on Sunday for very little work on Saturday. You will also have the Z guys wanting to do the extra events also and they are hard to control. We need to keep it simple, I'm sure Mike would agree.Mako Koiwai wrote:Right ... but only one worker is required to run each of the Bonus Elements.
But yeah ... typically everyone gets a LOT of runs on Sunday which might make the extra Figure 8 and Slalom redundant.

I think Mike is talking about Sunday only for the side dish.
