Was trying to decide whether or not to get inside of that floater cone before the oh shit box at the top of the hill
Always went outside.

Chris, if you looked any further ahead coming into that sweep you'd need the mirrors!

Re: Great event today!
I had the same debate, but went inside every time hedging on the shorter distance and maybe less slow-down through the alleged chicago box. The front seemed to stick ok out of the horseshoe so i didn't have to delay too much getting to full throttle and was pointed straight in between the exit and entrance. My logic was that if I went outside i was driving further, turning the whole time fighting camber, and then also would have marginally more turning to do in the box.thrdeye wrote:Was trying to decide whether or not to get inside of that floater cone before the oh shit box at the top of the hill

Watching that video though, it looks smooth enough that way and straighter than I thought it would look.
I was curious how the other way would work, but not curious enough to change something that was netting decent times during runs.
Re: Great event today!
I set up the course with a couple turns that you could take several ways. It makes you look ahead and think oh which way do I go to get the fastest time, I must not have went the right way LOL. I hope every one did enjoy a little different look and a little longer course.
