Hey, I forgot I posted this!

Regarding seeing the cones: Initially I used my main beams and had a lot of trouble. Then I went to just the fogs, which threw a shorter, lower beam with less light and let me pick up the ones outside of my light cone better.

I'm looking forward to doing it again this year. It's definitely a great training tool to increase your concentration behind the wheel!

I've wanted to try a night autox. There was one out east, 24hrs of an autox 15, 20 years ago.

I ran a night driving event a few times. In the 944, the lights were not enough so I've mounted fogs on the bumper. (The link in my sig goes to the videos on google.)

Give you real appreciation for those 24hr enduro racers.
