<< The last right side run (for the 3rd/4th places) I cannot decide whether I
DNF'd or not. After the sweeper and second crossover, I initiated the usual
(for me) 4 wheel drift around the pointed cone in front of the slalom, but
this time the kart did not hook up, and I went wide left around the first
slalom
cone. My first instinct was to make a left loop and come back on the right
side of the cone. I am not sure whether it was the spectator area being to
the left, or concern about marbles, but something changed my mind. So
instead I went to the right, between the first and second cones. I went all
the way around and back to near the entry gate, hooked and took off again
past the first slalom cone on the right (correct) side.
I went past that slalom cone on the correct side. But I did not "undo" my
pass by it on the left. I thought it was still a "good" run, although
agonizingly
slow, of course. Was it a good run? Comments/opinions welcomed. >>
I was sitting immediately next to the course in front of both incidents. The
standing up the cone trick was neat and you definitely were not off course.
You hit the course cone which stood up the pointer cone.
You were however definitely off course when you spun entering the shoestring.
you did not re trace your steps far enough and never actually went "through"
the gate.
