1) Right of the cone shortens the distance.
2) Improves drive on to the back straight.
3) The surface is smoother there so obviously it's the fast line. :
Definitely not smoother.......quite bumpy regardless how it may look in the pic....but definitely pics up your times.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Bill Howell has always called me "coney"....


Oh yeah --- I've chased a few of 'em.



RE: Pic of me on "wrong" side of exit marking cone



I'm a long time skier.... My #1 rule is "don't fall down".... I find that I never get hurt if I don't fall down.... with that in mind -- I have been known to make what I refer to as a "Series of linked recoveries".

My driving style has evolved to include this same kind of thinking.... "whatever it takes" -- comes to mind. Meaning -- whatever it takes to not have Charley chewing my ass....
