You'd take a good line that you know has worked forever and you'd just float out to the grass... I do have some (very slow) practice lap video that I'll load up to try to convey why it was hard to stay on the track in the corners.
I know there has to be a lot more interest in racing that just the number of folks this event brought out. I'd encourage anybody who's even remotely interested to get out to the late Spring and Fall events on the track when Bud opens it up for us to just have fun and practice. Pine Lake is my "home track" at this point, and I still get 9/10 corners wrong as many times as I've been around it over the past 7 years.
Does anyone know if there will be another Pine Lake event this fall?
