    Favorite - BOWL (6). Smooth, fast, awesome feeling when done right.

    Least - 10. Hate the transition bump... and the next bump.

    Entrance to 1 and 3 on my tard, for sure, as most of my passes are made in these. 1 is especially exciting as it usually involves a bike passing me on the straight and me fighting back on the brakes.

    I honestly hate 11. There is an awkward bump right before it where the pavement changes and I want to get on the brakes at the exact same time I want to grab 5th and still haven't been able to figure this out.

    Fav-1 something about the speed and the way the corner flows into 1a and 2 makes that my favorite section.

    Least-3 I dislike the bumps.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Least fav - 2. Ever since my off at the beginning of this season I can't seem to man up there. I keep expecting to lose the rear again despite going through much faster now than I did when i lost it
    Fav - 10. Even though I suck at it I like playing with exit speeds in 9 to set myself up for a drive out of 10 so I can pass people before 11. Probably my best passing area.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Favorite: 6, love the slingshot-boomerangy feeling and the banking that lets me get way more sideways than the other part of my brain feels is ever appropriate. 9 and 1-1A are close behind.

    Least favorite: 11, because I also suck at it. Probably because I'm often prematurely worrying about 12-12A and usually slow down way too early.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Hmm. That's something that seems to change a couple times a year for me. Right now I like the feeling of turn 9 but dislike 10 because I'm not consistent through it and that pisses me off. I think I know why and I have a couple things to work out about that back stretch.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    favorite 1, 9, 10. love the speed of 1, and 9 and 10 just give me a rush. even 10 is great because alot of people take it slow and i have yet to eat it there so i still take it faster. i tend to make my pass right out of 10

    least favorite 3 because i just cant get it right and 11, 11a because there is a crack there that for some reason gets me every time and shacks my front end when i transition over it.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Favorite - 6 and 7... always my fastest area in and out of it and love the feeling.

    Least - I'd say 1 because its eaten me alive on more than one occasion, I do like it though. Probably 3 because I can't seem to brake as well as I'd like into it.

    I like 'em all, but hate 12. I suppose it's only because I high-sided there, but that fear will go away with more trackdays.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Most: 4-5 dig the hill, 9-10 is pretty exciting
    Least: 12, means I'm about to get passed

    But then I'm new at all this.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Fav is 6...done right it just really flows and you can pull a ton of speed through it.

    Least fav is 9...I just can't get comfortable in it for some reason. Maybe it's the blind dipping turn. I know a lot of people here don't like ten for the transition, but I know it's there and I have gotten comfortable going towards the fence/wall on the right. The transition is minimal right there.
