Give yourself about 3 events to learn how to "speak cone".

The microseconds you take to decipher what you are seeing, and respond, add up to big chunks of time by the finish line. After a few events it starts to become more automatic. (although there will always be courses that are tougher to "see" than others.)

I did an autocross event many years ago (~2004) and was overwhelmed. I am pretty sure I hit every cone on course, including both sides of the gates.

I have feared orange cones ever since. But if I want to go faster this is probably the best way to practice for The Dragon.
