Default Coning a switchback.

switchbacks are not used in autocross but since they are one of the most popular elements of rally I was wondering how to Cone them... Im going to try my ASCII art here... I was thinking having the entrance and exit side by side with just pointer cones then the next gate 90 degrees.

or an acute or e-brake left with the entrance to the maneuver further then the exit.

I need to slow the course down in places and a switchback is just the trick.



or a Pin cone turn.
