Cones Day







As usual, they gave all the drivers 1 hour to walk the cones course. The course was very technical in spots with some big runs in between. It had 2 zig-zags back to back and a double box of minimum width.



It was extremely hard to make the time AND keep all the balls up. There were no double clean round in the single class. There was one almost with 2 sec. time penalty driven by the Dutch driver Melanie Becker.



I hit part of the double box and hit a cone when Katy slipped and lost her footing. The only way to describe the feeling I had during the course was that I felt like my pants were on fire!



Sara Schmitt had one ball after Batman jumped out of the box and she had some time penalties. Sherri Dolan opted not to drive when Smoke has a bit of a swollen leg. She didn't feel it was necessary to risk it. FYI- he is fine now. False alarm. Better safe than sorry.



Tracy Morgan had an awesome round in cones!! She was nearly double clear when she hit the 19th cone. We all thought she had it in the bag! She certainly brought her A game on Sun. Individually she moved up to 5th because of it.



Randy and Katie also had respectable rounds. Laurie and Lisa both had a few balls and a few time penalties.
