Nevermind...I found a good video taken by the FR-S driver that answered my question.

Here's my 42.53 run....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhv_LPDfyGc

It would have been FTD, but there was a cone called on the lot down by the stadium. :( I was pretty sure it was clean at the time. More so now that I watched the vid back.

First pic is the 3rd "wallom" as I approached it. Should be 3 cones in a wall, with 3 pointers on the first cone. Instead, there are 2 jumbled pointers and the 3rd pointer is standing up. The cone that's supposed to be in the box is BEHIND the standing up pointer (or vice versa..who knows). It's hard to tell there are 2 cones standing, but the second picture is coming back toward the finish where it's plain as day. 3rd pic is from the FR-S video which shows what the 3rd wallom is supposed to look like. Note the first cone in the FR-S vid is about a cone width off the painted stripe. In my vid, it's about 3X that. Right at the end of the vid before it fades to black, you can see the corner worker headed toward the wallom.

What do you guys think? I feel like a doucher for posting this because we all know those guys with the "I know I didn't hit anything" sob stories. I'll take my medicine if I really did hit something!

Thanks...looks like the cone was goofed up when you ran too. Looks like you ran right after me, so it may not have been that cone the corner workers were running for at the end of my run. Makes me feel better, actually, that it might have been a good call.

I was in heat 2 too, and I noticed some of the corner workers in the stadium part of the lot weren't always paying attention. There could have been a bad or delayed call. Who knows.

I'll post my best run later. Had a horrible day with my concentration.
