Particle Trails With Find Target

[biglittlepictures]

If I make an emitter, speed gravity, and add a spawn to generate particle trails, of a rotated scaled pyramid it works fine.  But I need the particles to hit surfaces randomly so I make the emitter have a find target node, and it ruins all the particle rotations so the trails wont work.
 
This seems stupid basic, but I can't seem to get it to work. 

Attached are screen grabs to help understanding.

Any advice on how to created trails with Find Target appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
