Just the kind of info I'm looking for John C. I never know whether to go tight or swing wide. Momentum vs. distance. Swing wide: greater distance but also greater speed. Keep tight less distance,less time in turn, and get on with it. You see the formula boys doing the wide 180s and they certainly have ample power, but also ample grip. Then you see the classic go to the inside pass, followed by an immediate repass by the guy who stays wide, late apexes, and passes on the inside on subsequent straight. I guess it's six of one, half dozen of the other. This one was made interesting by a very slight V in the pavement for water runnoff, with the single cone on the much larger left side of the V and a small counter slope on the right. So if you turned right from the left side of the cone it was hunky doory until you got all the way around where you were then on an off camber slope. I fixed that by trying to get over onto the other right side slope but that meant crossing the hump in between. Anyway thanks for info. Anybody else? I hate 180 tight turns. Tire and brake eaters.
