Wow, look at the driver's side tire pulling away from the rim.
Yes, he did. His tire was inside the chalk, so he gets docked.

Remember, it only counts if the cone is outside the chalk box, the tire inside the clalk does not matter!

If the cone was still standing and any part of the cone was touching the box; then there's no penalty.

Come on Adam, I have had much closer encounters than that!
I am guessing that is the +1 on your 68.582+1 run...............

thats how we define a cone penalty at our auto-x's its the "down and out" rule.

That's standard SCCA regulations. I've seen some clubs do it differently. One club locally in Ct counts pointer cones, and I've seen some clubs only add 1 second per cone. I prefer SCCA regs, plus it keeps it consistent.

+1.
But I think the question was whether the car actually hit the cone to result in the penalty. My CSI (Crime Scene Investigation - not this website) skills say that the arm placement of the driver indicates that a countersteer is in progress and there is a 30% probability that the cone was left standing. 
Gorgeous pic BTW! I have our last event this Friday, then off come the Azenis!

I don't know about the cone, but are you guys (Karp, Redline, and Redline Jr.) still going hard after all these years ?, lol. BTW Is Scott (MadtownSi) still around these parts ?
Sorry, but I've been away from things for a few years, I've been busy raising a family and unfortunately I've been driving family vehicles since leaving CSI. I finally got back into a car that I can enjoy at the track again. I thought I'd search around and see who's doing what. Things must be pretty slow around here, this thread is 3 years old ? lol.
Best regards to everyone, I hope you're all doing well. 
Joey

That's sweet, great that you still have the original SI, nice to hear from both of you. Adam I hope all is well with you in Australia, sounds like a nice place to be. I wish you both all the best, I had some fun times at Gingerman, I just resurected some old event pics the other day. Best regards guys.

but remember where that corner is on the track (last box before the left hander into the finish) think about what the car was doing then
