    Well, if you go too deep into nascar1 before dropping onto the apron for turn 1 the transition can be rough. In the times I have run the track I altered my line to not go so deep or high on the banking and the transition was not too bad. I was geared wrong for the track but still managed to turn 1:15's there.

    The transition onto the back straight is rough only if you get onto the curbing but I haven't driven the track with all of the new stuff in place. This observation came from working turn 1 at last falls races and seeing multiple cars on two wheels.

    Coming onto the oval can be pretty rough if you try to get onto it too early as you come around toward the front straight.

    Myabe JeffY or some of the others that ran there with the new curbing last year will chime in.

    I like the track as it is hard to get "just right" for a fast lap. Others opinions may differ.

    Forgot to answer Chris's question. If you look at a track map the road course enters the nascar oval about where the nascar pit entrance is. I have used the hash marks of "pit out" as an aim point for exiting the oval for road course turn one. Hope that helps.
