In lower hp cars like ours, the quickest way around the track is the shortest, hence the lowest groove. This has been proven over many years with the stopwatch. If you come into the banked turn on the (relatively) flat part, you can gain time by staying high initially, then swinging "down the hill" of the banking to the lowest groove. You also want to try and use whatever draft you can (safely) get from any cars that are passing you by tucking up under them as they go by. In a ITC car, a 2 second draft from a quick ITB car can give you up to 2 tenths a lap. Being in the South, we run Charlotte, Daytona, and Rockingham.
Hope this helps,
