Other-Car AX: Cone Count Challenge

Since we have no official competition during the Other-Car AX Saturday, we thought it might keep things interesting to introduce the “Cone Count Challenge”. Each competitor will have the opportunity to make a donation to Children’s Hospital for every cone that you hit during the day. For most of us, maybe $2 per cone would be about right, but some of you trash-talking hot-shoes might be confident enough to pledge even more. :wink:

Since the AX chairs are buying everyone a nice lunch, you should have a few extra bucks in your pockets and it’ll help brighten the Holidays for the kids at Children’s Hospital.

Many Thanks and Happy Holidays Everyone. :D

Have you seen the cone marks on my car?

I might have to go BK!

I think the wider cars should bet a 2 cone per lap handicap!

Car vs Driver

Hmmm - maybe Carl has just come up with an idea for keeping drivers under control without a black flag - have an escalating fee for hitting cones at an event. :wink:

Charge .25 for the first cone, then double it for each cone thereafter. Of course, at the 13th cone, it would cost you $1024... That ought to be enough motivation to keep it on the track. :shock:

Just kidding - before anybody thinks this is a serious idea, keep in mind that this would actually encourage some people to try too hard to "save" a spin, which is probably more dangerous than driving off under control and eating a cone or three.
