Congratulations on your first auto-x Denise! :) That must have been a riot!
I remember my first, I got lost in the "Sea of Cones" Mowed down about 5
cones head on and missed at least 7 gates on my first run. :)
It was fun and addictive, it's only a matter of time before you're assmbling
your auto-x trailer in your Living room. :)
