Be sure you know your grid position before going to your race. This is very important. As your finishes get better, your grid position should improve. In multi-class races, be sure to know which wave you are in and when your wave is to take off. Never go up the drag strip unless it is unavoidable.
Water comes up after heavy rains in certain spots in the middle of the turn.
These spots can be ridden through without much problem, so don't change line radically to avoid them. If you can go outside them, all the better. The racing line is wide at first but gets narrow, follow a smooth arc throughout the turn. Not a good place to grab a handful of throttle. It is off camber just prior to apex and flattens out on the exit.
