Thanks Casey - some great photos in there

Four cones airborne at once - nice shot!

And it looks like Eric will have to clean up the same pattern of cone marks that I....errr....ummm....Curt has to

Hey Casey, very nice pictures and congrats for your "new" miata . I noticed that you were driving a miata today but I wasn't sure if it was your car...

Casey ... Best Ever Cones In the Air Shot!

I believe this is the evidence that Curt was looking for:

ROFL! Awesome that you got the shot! Let's see Sportscar run THAT one!

I was wondering where the "missing" cone mark was - front wheel!

Glad I wasn't the only one wiping out walls of cones.

Nice pic Casey

Thanks!
Yeah its mine, still trying to learn how to drive it. its a lot harder to drive then the RX-8 was. and up untill yesterday I thought I was starting to figure it out. but then yesterday happened and it reminded me I dont know what I am doing.

1st lap was joke (little wet, and stone cold tires), 2nd lap I plowed all those cones (I locked it up), and 3rd lap was somewhat ok, except the one cone I nicked because I got lazy and didnt turn the steering wheel enough. all well. no one to blame but myself.

My sincerest apologies to everyone working this section on the 3rd run. Can't even begin to describe what went on there. Score sheet says 10 cones. Wow. I'm pretty sure I DNF'd, though.

It was cool seeing the help that corner got from by-standers in the grid area. A number of times, we would rush over to help set up the Pins after a Strike!

he he, yeah thats a good way to put it.
It was kinda fun to see hoe fast we could set up cones.


and ywah, you did DNF.... not that it would matter. adding 20 seconds to your time is like a DNF.
I did the same thing. i think I only got 3 or 4 cones there though.

awww man, i forgot to add this one to the cone killers on the first post.

and another





and another

that's right folks. I'm going so fast that the cone started to deform before i got there!


either that or i'm actually in reverse at that point after dropping those cones off.

he he he.... ROFL




OOOOORRRRR. you have a button inside the car that makes the cone to collaps right before you get there so you can run over it. then it pops back up........ allowing for no penatly and a fast time. Yup, that MUST be how that Evo is SOOOO fast.

I'm on to you.

oh no.. I think you had way more rotation at that point than rearward motion

Dude... You lifted...

isn't that what you do to get the car to turn?.. or is that only in the STS civics?..

I like when you hit cones, keep it up :gpower:
Id rather get a DNF'er than a 10 cone'er

Bah, if you lift in an STS Civic you've already lost.

Yea, cause I'm such a threat... please!!

Chad Stubblefield wrote:Id rather get a DNF'er than a 10 cone'er

Yea, I'd rather DNF than see +10, but hey... if the shoe fits

Luckily the computer only allows us to input a max of 10 cones, so if you hit more, no one will ever know }:)
