The transistion is not nearly as bad if you don't try to go into NASCAR One before turning into the infield. Some guys never go up on the banking at all yet are still competitive. After having run there three times, I'll go up maybe two-three car widths on the banking at Start/Finish (mainly dictated by traffic) but I'm back on the apron just about the start of where Pit Road comes back in.
And yes, that's about 100 feet left of the pylons up on the banking. If you try to go out the pylons you'll beat the crap out of your car, plus I don't believe it gives you any advantage into Turn One.
