Do the speed bump trick they show at the novice training day. Drift slightly to the right till the wheels start to hit the lane dividers. Relate that location to a fixed spot on your hood. (I use a spot on my windshield wipers) once you are familiar with that spot you can line the track cones just to the right of the spot on your hood. You will be hugging the cones at full speed in no time.

My 5th run and 2nd fastest of the day (have a lot of cleaning up to do on the back end of that course) from april 6th's autox in south jersey. AWESOME course, really fast and I was running 80 second times. They set up a huuuuge course there.

I went with static clings, haven't fallen off yet. Tried the reusable ones and they get dirty too fast. Just had my girl cut out numbers from the blank sheets. Not bad for $7.99.

Amazon.com - Grafix Cling Vinyl 9-Inch-by-12-Inch 9-Pack, Assorted Colors - Cling Film
