Dammit, Mirrorkhanas are INSANELY FUN but that's the same day as an ER event :(

Yep, that blows. I really wanted to do the Mirrorkhana too, but I'm on the ER BOD. Maybe next year the schedule will work-out better for me; I've had a lot of conflicting weekends this season. :(

How should we work the cone penalty in the Mirrorkhana? There is not a timer in the Mirrorkhana. It is the first one back to the line that wins.

A) Forgive one cone but your competitor can take advantage of it. So it you hit a slalom cone your competitor can blow past it.

B) Hit a cone and DNF

Option B

I'd say you simply total the cones, like a pro solo. If both drivers hit a cone, it goes back to first finisher. If one does and the other doesn't, or one hits more cones than the other, then the lowest cone total is the winner by default. Only clean runs or equal cone counts will go to the first finisher.

Option B (unless both competitors hit a cone then it goes to time)

This makes is such that cones will be very rarely hit. You will need far less corner worker density.

Agreed. Hit a cone and you're out, unless the other driver hits one as well. If one driver hits 1 cone, and the other hits 2, the one with the single cone hit wins.

The format will be double elimination bracket.
Grudge matches after.
The bracket will be set from times on Saturday.

We will setup cones at the start to use for handicapping the drivers. What should be the spacing on the cones? One every 3 feet, each cone is worth .25 of a second. First round is handicapped. Next round is driver negotiated?

I wanna race KenO for pink slips...not the kind Cosmos wears.

Yep, just make sure corner workers on radios are calling in cones the instant they are hit.

Another thing...how are you dealing with car handicaps? The map doesn't look very specific...

Fixed! :)

I am looking at attending Sat, if I can convince my wife that it is a good way to spend my birthday. I will be at Crandall on Sunday, so no mirrorx. :(
