Default Now that we're talking specific corners...

Don't know about anyone else who runs at Willow Springs, but I have yet to master Turn 9. You come into turn 8 carrying speed from the back straight and you sometimes hit some crosswinds here on 8's big radius. You look for that power pole to set up for 9 which is a smaller radius than 8. The urge is to carry good speed and accelerate for the main straight, which I always overdo and end up having to back off. Nasty place to make a mistake. The Audi is always forgiving here--the Cobra is not.

I love turn 5, the bottom of what I call Willow's corkscrew, but I hate it when there's traffic because of all the different lines everyone takes through there.

I've never taken the Cobra to Laguna Seca--but I love the corkscrew with the Audi...especially on wet misty mornings.
