Cones: turn in, apex and track out, or not?

[Wally]

Cones! What cones? I don't see no stinking cones.  I just picked up on this thread and have found it very interesting.  My thoughts on the question are that it should be left up to the instructors entirely.  For the first timer the cones are a great training aid.  At our last event at Summit the track seemed different to me on the second day, but I couldn't  think of why until someone told me the cones were removed.  I was taught in another activity a long time ago that when your velocity increases linearly, your scan and focus down range must increase exponentially.  Let your sub-conscious control your physical inputs and concentrate on your next moves.  As your speed increases your concentration and discipline should get sharper and your vision broader. I hope I'm making sense for my 2 Grosz's worth of input.
