Ask yourself (since I have been there). Do some of the corners "open up" better when running the other direction? If so... it could lead to more confidence in lean angle, earlier and more aggressive bp and throttle control. If not, it could have riders somewhat timid and have a different wear pattern than normal.
What do you think?
Assuming normal direct turn numbers
Lemme guess....
Turn 12
Turn 2
Turn 3
Post turn 8 (exit)
I could see turn 10 for you too

Totally agree that it's me and not the track.
The two spots are Turn 12, which this way is a SUUUUUUper long increasing radius turn that is big fun, and Turn 7, the Laguna Seca-like one that climbs INCREDIBLY steeply going this way.
Turn 12... opens up the whole way around, no braking coming up, great sight lines and visual references, mo' confidence, mo' bettah. Turn 7... gravity giving you the warm fuzzies, ditto.
Turns 2, 3 and 8 are all high-speed kinks or nearly so both ways... not a lot of lean angle there.
Going this way is like NYST downtown: You spend more of the lap climbing.
