You'll have to hit the street running to get out to the outlaw race to get a few runs in before dark. Great to have you!
All racers, I'll be sending out better maps and info via email this week. Look for it.

I'm saying the Cheerphones are the Airflow cones. Looks like Airflow took the Cheerphone vendor up on the graphics on the cone option. Don't get me wrong they worked well. I used mine for about a year. I found I had to double up the cones on a windy day. Could it be that wind gets under the curled u...

The Airflow cones are very much like the old "Cheerphones". Light weight, move with a good breeze. Shatter if you nail one hard in cold weather.
There's nothing like the real thing (3DM/Turner/Seismic).
If you must see them, see them here...

Thanks for putting that link up Frank. Jack, The course does look tough but it's a little deseaving on the clip. The cones are spaced on the slope of the top and the surface slows you down at the bottom where things tighten up. Coming off the ramps is a deal. Practice that like Joe sez. We had a cou...

Going in the hole is not nice on a hot summer day. I understand, been there, as has all the RKR crew. It's hot and confining. Would the pull uprights need to be moved back to make room for the latches? They are off the side surface by 1/2" as they are but still may be in the way. I'd hate to move th...
