I tried drawing a line on this map with no success so I just marked the apexes with an X.

yes....it's a decreasing radius turn no matter what.

i didn't understand what you meant by straightline...i got it....gives you a straight shot INTO 9...
I'm thinking what Dave means is as soon as he's hit the apex, instead of keeping the car to the right of the track, he unwinds the wheel and turns in to 9 as the car is straightlining across the track towards the concrete patch.

No, 235 with a supercharged NSX.

Why are you guys so concerned with turns 2 and 4? After Sam showed me the lines, they just didn't seem that big of a deal. I mean turn 2 exit you're going uphill, so gravity is taking load off the outside tires. And turn 4, you brake, tumble down the hill, and then the exit again is uphill, helping you slow down if you need it. Maybe I'm missing something . . .

I don't know, I just think turn 1 is scary because it is a bit blind, a bit decreasing radius and lined with concrete walls, and the entrance to turn 8 is a bit hairy because you're coming in so hot. . .
