need to do is cut the corner so that you are nearly in the grass. You should be able to
hold your line and exit the tri-oval at about the middle of the track. The normal line
takes you further out towards the wall, so you both will come out ok. The only problem is
that by cutting the turn that sharp, you loose some speed. That's why I only recommend
trying it on the last lap if then. you can usually beat the other car back to the line.
During the middle of a race however, they will have more momentum and beat you back to turn
one. It is better for you to just fall in line and pass low entering turn 1 or 3.
Yes, but I've seen some cars move up on the outside of drivers trying to protect their
insides.
Exactly, but that's not how people do it. I've even seen cars stopped dead in the middle of
the tri-oval (people don't realize that your car stays on the track while you check out
replays).
