Hey Hapman. When entering the Carousel, stay drivers right as long as you can. The curbing to the left starts very early an kinda baits you into turning to soon. There is a patch of black repaired pavement on drivers right that I put my right front wheel on for turn-in. Right side tires are almost off the track at this point. Turn, squeeze the throttle(dont stab it)and unwind to the exit. You know you have turned too early if you have to lift at the exit(or run off into the dirt):-) Keep in mind that some drivers shift points may be due to rear end ratios. Mines a 5.13.:-) Good luck.
That's exactly how I do it, too. In the Miata, I'm hitting 4th gear somewhere before the first bridge.
That big black spot on driver's right is also what I use to pick my turn-in point.
