Anyone know what our wet cousins do up North and East ?
All we can think of is Lumber Crayons ... which aren't THAT big, ie. we're going to need a lot of them!

Ask my Dad how many lumber crayons it takes to mark a course, National Staff used to ask us to use Lumber crayons instead of drywall to mark the ProSolo courses.

There is (was?) a bunch of them in the CTV.

The yellow ones are easier to see than the red ones if there's a choice.
Dood, are you gonna eat that?

We use the yellow ones, over the white lumber crayons, to mark people/cars in the motion picture industry when it's wet.

From the SCCA Forum:
THAT would be a LOT of cones for our typical courses!Our region would double cone everything with an extra cone beside the regular cone When a cone was hit, the one beside it was usually untouched and could be used to put the hit cone back in place. Not a perfect solution, but worked great in most downed cone situations.

yellow lumber crayons are the standard marking device in the wet northwest.
