North course Friday, I had two pylons for my second run. I was unable to see
the sheets before I had to be in the car ready to take the third/last run.
Found out that the first pylon was #40, and the second was #95. The only
problem was that #95 was on the left side of the first gate after the double
pylon slalom. The only real way to hit that one would be to keep turning to
the left after the last double (and more than likely spin out). Obviously,
that didn't happen. I spoke with the Chief of Course, who advised my to file
the proper papers if I so desired. Since I was so far behind and already had
a pylon on that run, it wasn't worth it, but that something was not 100% out
there. I suspect it was #94  that I hit. It was on the right side, and that
would make a lot of sense.
So if the dupes of the sheets were posted earlier, or allowed more time to
be seen, I could have possibly benefited from them.

Small potatoes. but. . .
