There the 3rd down on this (http://www.goalsforlife.co.uk/acatalog/Cones___Flags.html) page.



I think this would be a excellent idea because you would never damage your car on them. also the marshall would not have to run miles to fetch cones that have been rocketed by cars that hit them.

What you think?

Im thinking they would shatter when a car goes over them.

Iirc from my footy training days, they are fairly hard plastic. So, im thinking perhaps would cause tyre ripping plastic shards.

Could be wrong.

that's what I bought for the drift days paz used to do, they are quite good, but not really too great for accuracy, as u don't give a shit about running then over.. I spent half my time running back and putting them back in place after plowing through them at **mph in 3rd, spitting them up behind me :wack:

How about the lower height cones on the same page then?

As Phil said, they were OK, but they were very hard to see as there more or less flat to the ground. and when you touched one with a rear tyre they just flirted off :D

Nothing wrong with a bit of cone damage anyway :) It gives the car that drifing look with battle scars :D

If your scared of a bit of cone damage, I wouldn't advise you to be drifting in the first place, worse things happen than a little scratch :wack:

Solution to cone marks = tcut :D

but tbh, it'd be nice if you could fkucup a drift in practice and not suffer 100s of squids in pannel beater bills.

What about something made out of foam pipe lagging?

We could make some spectators stand where the cones are, that way we can easily see them. Also if we fear getting sued for hitting them, then we might get better car control :wack: :D
