- That was a fun course; I DNFed all three times but still went home smiling. It seems I was driving right past the 2nd slalom coming out of the far side of the course. I never even noticed that I was

- I spun on the straight on my first run. But I believe that I went between two cones and re-entered the course where I went off, so theoretically I should not have gotten a DNF or a cone penalty. But

- Michael makes a valid point here, that although he DNF'd, he was given times in the results. I hate to admit it, but I too had a DNF (I know you would have thought that was impossible), and was given

- Seconded. T&S work is actually pretty easy, and you don't get wet or sunburnt. But to do properly you really need a cone counter, a card sorter, a timing person and an announcer. And the people you g

- Interesting thread. If you want to be extra cautious don't stage near a similar car with a similar number or color. (tough if you have a miata). Check any posted times. Save your timeslips (or better

- It's easier if each slalom cone is actually the apex cone of a gate, though you can line an outside line with no cones, too. It helps keep people on track, and also greates a white gypsum cloud if th
