Yes, but only the first day of a multi-day event (they help people learn the line, but should not be a crutch)	64.71%	11	64.71%
Yes, but only the pre-lunch sessions on the first day (how long can it take to learn the line?)	0%	0	0%

Understood, Bob. I was judging based only on what I saw at the drivers meeting. The discussion in the instructors meeting would be a more accurate and complete indicator. I tried to make this poll fun, but no one should think that it should be binding on the instructor corps. There are many years of experience at hand, and we should all benefit from them. For a new driver I agree that the cones are a good guide, and more experienced drivers should be able to ignore them and use hard points as references. That said, I would like to see the cones used only on the first day of a multi-day event and not at all should we sponsor some events for advanced drivers only.

I appreciate the thoughtful comments on this thread.
