A zillion years ago, when the center of the earth was still hot, the Penn 
State Sports Car Club used to use the inserts from golf club bags for it's 
"cones".

They poured day glo orange in some and day glo yellow in others. Orange on 
one side of the course and yellow on the other. The tubes were fixed to the 
pavement via sections of wooden dowels with a nail in the center.

Boy was that difficult. When you were strapped in the car, it looked like a 
forest of orange and yellow trees spread out in front of you. And when they 
got hit, you had to run over with a hammer and reseat the dowel in the 
pavement and slide the tube over it.

Not a good idea that one!
