Turn 1

Past the Start/Finish line, stay track right before turn-in. Leave a little bit of room at the first apex at the pit wall, and drift back out towards the outside of the corner. Going under the bridge, you should be under the FRAM sign (a car width or two from the left side). Brake in a straight line over the curbs on the left.

Turn 2

Turn-in at the end of the left-side curb and use the flatter part of the apex curb. Track all the way out to the left.

-Michael Skeen

Turn 3

Meet the right side of the track at the kink and turn in for a late apex. DO NOT use the inside curb. Apex at the end of the curb and quickly (but smoothly) turn in for T3A. Use the flatter part of the apex curb at 3A and look ahead, visualizing the blind track out.

-Michael Skeen

Turn 4

Pretty standard turn in for T4. Apex on the first few feet of the inside curb. If you can't get to the apex, back up your turn-in mark 1 foot at a time. Track out onto the exit curbing.

Turn 5

Stay tight to the inside and track out on the center line to crest the hill for T6.

Turn 6

Enter center track and be very patient. Slowly feed in the power and apex at the curb down the hill. Be sure to keep "maintenance throttle" throughout to keep the rear end planted. Track out all the way across the dragstrip.

-Michael Skeen

Turn 7

Enter track left. Do not use the inside curb at either apex in T7. Get on the power as soon as you can. If you're using the NASCAR extension, get out over the yellow line and try to avoid the bump at turn-in.

-Michael Skeen

Turn 8

At the entry, straddle the yellow line that marks off the cutoff road, but miss both curbs. Keep maintenance throttle all the way through the esses. Use a little curb in the left hander. Stay in the gas and look for the blind track out in 8A.

-Michael Skeen

Turn 9

Let the car drift a little to the outside mid-corner so that you can be back on the lefthand curb for the entry to T10.

-Michael Skeen

Turn 10

Use all of the left-side curbing on entry. Brush the brakes/downshift as necessary for your car and immediately go back to maintenance throttle. Turn in smoothly and feed in the power as you approach the apex. Look way ahead and make sure you're on your marks for the track out. Use curb at the exit if you have to; do not try to pinch the car back onto the track. Straighten it up and put two wheels in the dirt if necessary.

-Michael Skeen

Turn 11

Stay right next to the separator line for the pits. Turn in a little bit late so that you can get on the power hard on the exit. Straddle the painted curb on the inside and don't be afraid of the wall at the exit. Drift back to center-track and turn in for the kink on the pit straight.
