Reminds me of Buttonwillow Raceway last Friday. Someone went off and
punted an apex cone into the middle of the racing line. Most people
chose to drive around it. Instead, I purposefully smacked the cone
each lap, bumping it further and further off the line.
Wisely, I did not stop to point out the downed cone. :-)
