    Uh, 'fale'. You're not going fast if you do that.
    You're just using to driving the NX too much there. Bet if you did that with Pablo or another B car you'd be faster. Actually, Chris Albin and Justin Poole "showed" me that.

    You just lost the bet.

    You must not have heard, I drove Pablo there two days ago. If I had tried to keep Pablo checked up so I didn't have to drive out over that exit curb under the S/F stand I would have lost a lot of speed on the straight (yes, I have DL-1 data). I watched the ARRC races and all the leaders (and fast guys) were tracking out. I can't IMAGINE why ANYONE would think that pinching in a car on track-out is faster; would you do the same on the Downhill at LRP? Of course not, that's just silly.

    And, by the way, I was faster than Chris Albin in qualifying.

    A 6-pack of Sam's Octoberfest would be a fine ante-up. Better hurry, it's soon to go out of season.

    No beer for you! At least not for that reason.

    Heck, if one's doing it right they're not fully at the left going down the hill to save real estate.
    We're talking two different parts of the downhill. I'm talking about going down the hill before the right hand turn; you're talking about track out. I suppose one could stay far left down the hill and try not tracking out as far.

    I'm thinking about doing some really dumb things just so I can get my butt down there next year. Stupid racing!

    Ah! I pretty much go all the way left there, but I can see the basis of the variation of opinion. Probably not a viable alternative in faster cars though.

    If you are doing things in order to ensure participation in the ARRC, they cannot, by core definition, be dumb, no matter what they are. Resolved!

    I was not using all of the track over there typically. You could probably squeeze another car in there most of the time.

    Jeff-

    I love Pocono All the configurations!!! also Love RA and LRP!

    Nothing beats Mt. Washington though!!! Wish that was still an option

    The only track I really don't like is NHMS.... Havn't raced at the track in 3 or 4 years I think??? And I lived within 20 or so minutes from the track until recently!
