Ray and I decided to change his car color to Imola orange, the problem is we don't yet have the money so I started getting the bumpers and skirts done by running over as many cones as I could at autocross sunday......

ummm....

 

Yeah, we both had way too many cones sunday!

 

For a minute, I thought you were getting one! (when I read the topic).

 

If you can't go around em' go thru em' my grandmother used to say

 

Bad cones, BAD!

 

That would be nice, I saw a pic of one once and it was a great looking color.

 

I only picked up one cone this event. But, my first runs were wet, so I was being a bit cautious.

I really like the new alignment settings - just a little bit oversteer when I mashed the throttle in the first left, and just a little bit of understeer when I overcooked the 180 right-hander just before the finish. It was nice to have a gentle reminder that I was being an idiot.

Here's how my internal dialogue differs with the new vs old alignments:
New alignment: "Huh, a little bit of oversteer, I better ease out the throttle."
Old alignment: "Sh!t, how did those corner workers get right in front of me?! Oh, massive oversteer. Look at 'em run! Clutch and brake! Restart car."

 

Dont you get bonus points for hitting the cones?

 

Yeah, it's sort of like the bonus points you get for putting your golf ball in the pond.
