The first turn after you leave the pits.  That should help :)

LOL, you call that a kink?  Sounds like you have been on oval tracks too

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but anyway.
If you have the pole for this race, do not pass the pace car when he pulls
into the pits! You WILL get a BF. Anybody that passes the pace car before
the S/F will get a BF.  This is very easy to do, the pit road starts right
at the kink, and the pace lap speed is 50 mph.
Is there anyone going to change the pace and pit speed? 50 mph is real slow.
The league I run uses 100.
