where can I get cheap cones for autocross?

[Mooneggs]

So the NW MX-3 crew is in the market to get a bunch of orange traffic cones to practice our autocross skills on our own time... but where can we get a bunch of traffic cones for cheap? anybody have any ideas? Probably looking to get at least 50 but will get alot more if they are available for a cheap price...

I've already been looking on google and professional sites and about the best price I can find for 12" cones is around $5 a piece...

I don't even care if they are used! as long as they are still mostly orange and visible... I did find this cool government auction that would have been perfect but it's too far away anyways... http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Ma ... acctID=561" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This is the best that i could find, they are only 7 inch cones but come in a set of 96.

Just a thought but can you contact the local road crews to get them? Im kind of curious b/c we have this big abandoned parking lot near me and I was hoping to put something together and have been debating going over to their repair facility to inquire about it.

Steal some from a construction site

Go to any sporting goods store. They should be with the soccer stuff. =]

lol if I was going to steal them I would have done it already

and remember guys they need to be durable enough if we run over them it won't destroy them haha I think the 96 ones and the soccer ones would just shatter if we ran over them

I do like the idea of contacting road crews... hmmm or maybe checking with the local municipalities...

I've seen about 10 cones in the past year along the freeway, obviously abandoned. Every time, I assess the possibility of pulling over, and grabbing them. They were never accessible enough, but I'll get a little more bold. I've nabbed a tarp, and other things.
I could break into the yard where I met with the crew to do my "Work Crew" community service for court. They had plenty of cones.
