OK Ken, I got you! Only got one timed run (with one cone), the second day in
'91, before "breaking it" during the second run. Without the two second cone
would have won by .8 sec. But then, I wasn't driving my own car, I was a
"hired-gun" for the "professional team", Team Komush.

As you can see, A one second cone wouldn't have helped me get a win. A good
reason to "learn" not to hit cones, no matter what the time penalty.

        Don,(who doesn't learn too quickly, two "cone" runs on the first day
of the Divisional)
