The 101-cone-challenge was the highlight from Saturday's racing. At first nobody could get through it without knocking a cone down, but slowly people started to master it, and then the times started falling steeply. If we'd had more time we might have all got down to sub 30-second times.

Bugs I'm loving being able to go over all the race results and times.

Robbo, you beat me in Rd. 2 by the narrowest of margins. 0.005 secs! I kept a very tidy cone count all day but that one cone I hit in ours cost me the race.
