    The outside to T4 works for some passing too!

    Easy to get shoved off the track there though.

    My favorite is entry to T11 (left down the hill before the right up over the bridge). You can stick it on the inside if they are a lot slower than you, or even an outside of T11 to an inside of T12 pass works if you dare. :pimp:

    Pinned to the 1 board, and throw it In :D

    Here is a video of 2 of the top SS riders going at it for 2 laps at Barber. It shows the different lines thru several corners and the results.

    I agreed with it being easy to get shoved off there, but with some good timing you can use a good drive through 4 to get a good run at 5.
