I was having trouble deciding between 3rd and 4th gear through there, not 2nd and 3rd like I thought when I wrote it. I told you it was preliminary! My problem with 4th through there was that it felt like I was bogging too much through 3 and 4. But I'll have to play around again next year... Tony, you are right, now that I think about it.

It is horrible. If I remember right, it is short and the dirt around it is worn; I think I bent a wheel there. Mind the exit curb at turn 8. It is horrible.
