I think for some reason that was referencing some safety steward duties, not the course design, although I could be mistaken.

Your car is traveling in the direction of the arrow and you have to go inbetween the "gates"- so in essence you have to swing out to the right, then maneuver to the left to get between the cones, then do that 2 more times. There were 2 cones making up each "gate" (those little vertical lines |=gate ) with a pointer on the first cone of the gate pushing you back right for each gate.

...now that Ive read it, it makes no sense. good luck trying to figure out what in the hell I just said...
