It\u2019s definitely one of the best oval\/road course combos out there. In my mind, it&#8217;s second only to Daytona\u2019s 24-hour course\u2014especially if your group is running the so-called \u201cGrand-Am\u201d configuration, which utilizes the NASCAR 3 and 4 bankings. For the track\u2019s Grand-Am layout, after the infield section, you get sent out of a left-hand hairpin onto the beginning of the oval track\u2019s back straight. Then, instead of dipping down into a slightly fiddly complex that ends with a slow corner onto the front stretch, the Grand-Am layout sends you flying through the NASCAR 3\u20134. It\u2019s great fun\u2014and will open your eyes a bit regarding what a Sprint Cup driver must do with an undertired, big h.p. racecar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, since you\u2019re coming off the banked turns (and your right foot&#8217;s been matted since the apex of the hairpin!), that means you\u2019re carrying some mighty speed down to the Turn One\u2013Turn Two complex. T1 is a very fast left-hand dive off the straight; T2 is a slightly more than 90-degree left.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
