I just picked up a couple batches of these for running with a few friends this Saturday. Should be plenty for laying out your own temporary track. These are much, much cheaper than the packs of six you see everywhere for $8.00. Just figured I'd share.

Some guys that drift in my area draw on a track somehow, im not sure what they used, but i guess you could use chalk or chalk spray paint:

But chalk spray paint is like chalk but you spray it on.

Or you could use Grass Marking paint...It's like spray paint but it washes off with water.

That's a great idea... unfortunately the guy wants $40 for shipping to Canada... what a rip.

I HOPE they used chalk and I HOPE they washed/brushed it off when they were finished. Somehow I don't think either was the case. []

Even if it was chalk, if I was the lot owner and they didn't get permission, I'd be mad as hell.

The OP has a better way to mark corners. Thanks for posting, I just wished they came in smaller (25 or 50) quantities with a smaller price, but again, good find.

EDIT: They DO come in smaller quantities - might just pick up some. Thank again to the OP.
