one part of being a spectator at the Optima Challenge "Speed Stop" competition is seeing who will punt the cones the farthest, while some competitors were trying for best times, others seemed to be trying for distance on that one poor cone

punting for distance

when they nail it, and don't hit the cones, they don't lose points and it looks like this cool Nova (his 1st year here)

interesting tool organizer from Red Baron Tools

this piece alone is about 500 bucks. Reminds me a little of the Plumb tool organizer from before WW2
