it was t-bolt. They ran only the second chicaine after the straight, they used the first chicaine to pit in onto the track. Most MC orgs only use the second chicaine, at least the times I have been there. I am not sure if ama uses both.


On the back leading to the straight, do you mean those 2 little s turns or the big triple apex right witht he decreasing radius turn into the left? if thats what you mean, they had a totaly different line through there compared to what I had seen other times I was there. They had a few cheater marks on the track itself for us to use. My first 2 sessions i was like wtf are they thinking using a line like that, I tried it a few times with near disasterous results LOL When they explained it in the classroom it all made sense. In the end I was still a bit off line but knew where I had to be and was working on a few more ref points.

For that left they had an X on the entrance too, it was prety far to the left of the track, what I would do is hit the x then you run it out to the right a little then come back in to the left and prety much ride over the curbing. If you hit it right you miss all the patchwork. Ant those patches have plenty of grip so not to worry if you go over them.
