Even sometimes where I know I can go faster the thought of the risk of that section bothers me. The "straight" at Palmer is one of not many places that track has where you can relax. But if I am at 130+ on that straight I realize I could slow even to 125 (indicated) and catch my breath, and not feel like I am on some sort of edge.

Then turn one down into 2, certainly I can pick up more speed down that hill, but I think of what could go wrong there at the bottom into 2 and therefore keep my speed in check.

Now Thompson doesn't give me those odd feelings, though I tend to go mellow over the rise coming to the straight. Maybe its just that I need more time at Palmer.
