I like both straight and S-shaped ramps. I'm not sure it really makes a difference. But it is important to have a good transition at the bottom for the straight ramps, so that you don't hit the bottom at too much of an angle. I'm sure the S-shaped ramps accomplish this task better. At the top the ma...

I scanned in the article from the 1984 crossing for those of you who haven't seen it.
Read the article
Some of the scanned pages are quite heavy (~200kb) as I wanted to keep the text readable.

The prototypes of 105s are very similar, if not identical to the production models. However for the ot...

Nathalie, if you can't find the equipment you need in Switzerland you you can always buy from http://www.ConeRacing.com (Shipping from Paris, France. Everything in stock at the moment).
The site is mostly in French right now, but there are plenty of pictures.

My opinion is that you should be allowed a re-run because a cone was missing, or worse, in the wrong position. (And you did the right thing as you stopped the race and pointed out the missing cone. If you would have gone the end it wouldn't have been more difficult to justify and prove.) I don't thi...
