My question: who the hell put that concrete wall on the outside of the corner?!!!

It helps keep the parts on the track. 

It's best not to stare at the walls, even in videos.

That wall is nothing compared to what you see going in to T3.

T3 really isn't that bad.  It's T10 that really should be adjusted?

I'd disagree, but what do I know.?

It is a visual/mental thing IMO.

To me, 3 has a lot more going on technically and visually...and therefore mentally.

10 is just like...how bad is the transition gonna hurt?

I wonder that every time I hit turn 12 at Road A. It really is an exercise in mental calisthenics not to look at it.

The absence of target fixation solves many problems.

Google Rob Dages. He was pretty busted up, but did recover.
