At a 2nd barrel, it might over again produce a complete loop, which means it will make the turn on the other lead so accelerate toward a third barrel. At the third barrel it might over again produce a complete loop and so begin back to the begin. A racers might pass across an electronic timer typing & allowing a barrel arrangement & a elapsed period is the instance for the event.
