Potomac does talk about esscape routes, and that could be useful, like the rock and the drainage pipe hidden in the middle of the carousel, but don't make their use a habit.
Quote:I seem to remember a car going off at turn one at Summit and using the road to the skid pad and ending up on its roof in the trees. The driver said he had used this pavement before when he was to hot to make the turn and was able to stop the car but this time the car got off the pavement and took him for a wild ride with the up side down result.I was there and talked with the driver, who was an instructor. He had used the access road before, TWICE before in the same session! Third time he missed the road, got the ditch, went airborne inverted into a tree. Ever see a BMW with a V-shaped bumper and a gaping hole where the sunroof used to be?
