    Like 10, one of my favorite passing areas is setting up 10 and getting people before 11.

    Hate 9, down hill, blind, I've gone down that hill, nearly clipped a christmas light set up... yeah, I hate that the most.

    9 is bomb once you get to know it! 10 sucks balls though

    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.
    This exactly...well said Ryan.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Haven't made it up there for a day on the bike yet (come on, Spring!)

    But in my car, I'll say 6 and 7 are fun, but I love 12 and I hated everything between 8 and 12 because I was overdriving and somehow forgot where to be after the treehouse each time and fudged my way through until 12.

    did you actually use 12 or is that slight left onto the straight considered 12 in a car? I know the BMW club doesn't use the right left chicane before the straight that we call 12. as seen here http://www.tonystrackdays.com/catego...click-here.htm

    I guess that would be the slight left since I drove with the BMW club. I wondered why Oreo's track vids seemed different.

    Came here to post that. Beat me to it!

    Anyway, they have just about all been my favorite at one time or another.
    The speed carried through turn one as a set up for 1a and 2...
    The challenge of turn 3 really determines how fast turn 4 is done...
    The bowl - just love how the bike and I compress into the pavement. Feels like I am running on rails.
    9 for reason already stated but I love getting close to that wall at 10. Makes me giggle.

    Maybe my least is turn 5 because it isnt really as fun of a turn as the others but it is still kinda cool because it is a great veiw of the bowl when you reach the top.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    I'm in the Turn 6 camp 100% as for the best turn.....it's a great corner that makes that section of the track feel like a true road course. Thae banking allows for incredibly late braking and roll speed and there are passing opportunities everywhere.

    Turn 10 is the least favorite for sure. I feel like the limit has nothing to do with skill....it's just how close do I want to get to crashing on that particular lap.

    I'll echo that. 6 is just a classic piece of pavement. I like the T10 right up til the bump. then I hate it.

    T2 has to be second best (since they gutted T1) My bike drifts a little as I cross the triangle at full lean and on the gas. Hooks back up as I leave the triangle, all at high lean angles. That's a fun feeling!

    As I wrote my response I almost put "T1a into T2 due to the line Paul showed me through there." It sure is fast and fun, and my rear is sliding pretty often exiting. Based on Lou's lap timer i'm actually hitting the same exact speed on the back straight as I am on the front due to the killer drive this line gets me. Only reason this isn't my favorite is that I'm too inconsistent here.

    What makes it even better, is when I get the line right from 1a to 2, I'm on the gas so hard standing the bike up that the front wheel actually comes off the ground as I move from the right side of the bike to the left and my weight comes off of the bike. I remember seeing Shane do this from the stands and asked myself how that was possible...then it happened and I smiled the rest of the way around the track....guess I'm doing that anyway. Motards are fun.

    I don't think I have slid the rear there except in the rain that I know of.

    And I think the rear was hooking up fine through that chicane hahahaha.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Haha! You guys were two of my best one on ones! Nothing like riding at 90 percent while talking someone into a corner like that. My brain was scrambled at the end of the day for sure. Smutty, that wheelie from the center of 12 all the way to the wall was the bomb. I told you to to drop the hammer and you DID. I could see a moment of doubt after the wheel came up, but you never let off. Lol!

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Favorite - entry of T1 cuz I can pass Rick there.
    Hate - exit of T6 cuz Rick can pass me there.

    To elaborate a little, I love the T1, 1a and 2 section. That's a lot of fun and a place where I'm able to make a little bit of ground on a few top riders.

    And I also really like T3 up into T4.

    Love the entry to T9

    Love the exit of T10 to the apex of T11 (except for that huge fuckin bump just before the braking zone) for exactly why Eric said he doesn't like it. It's a rush feeling the bike get all twisted n wound up and then release underneath you.

    T3 is both favorite and least favorite. Least favorite because I high-sided there. Favorite, because when I hit the turn well, it leads into 4,5,6

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Turn 2 hands down my favorite. It is the only place on the track I can be WOT and knee dragging at the same time. I love a nice exaggerated hang off and the end of it coming at the wall. I also really like turn three. Braking into it and hanging the rear tire and diving in is special. Maybe because I haven't eaten it yet. 7 is nice too.

    Turns 9 and 10 are my least favorite. I ate shit in 10 and while I'm in 9 all I can think about is 10 coming up.

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    My favorite and least favorite are the same.

    Turn 3, cause when I manage to line it up correctly, hit my marks and get the double downshift reasonably smooth - I feel great and can't wait till the next lap to improve it.

    Turn 3 because when I get it wrong, I make a mess out of it, run low on torque, stand it up early - yuck!!

    Re: Favorite NHMS corner? LEAST favorite NHMS corner?

    Least favorite: 9. When it "feels" like I'm doing 9 right 10 is turribal. When I actually get 9 right, 9 feels awkward, but 10 becomes "fine".

    Favorite: 3. 3 is so scary looking, but if you get your entry speed right it's just a hard toss and there's way more room past the barriers to just keep twisting the throttle.
