(what do you call that thing) well, you'll have to brake into it unless you're in a skinny little Datsun 2000 or a kart--------------------------------------> back standing on the gas and through ANOTHER absolutely meaningless wiggly 1/2 lane change and through the "hallway"/"alley"/"chute" (some would call it overusage of old blackened pylons)----------------------------------> oops, cook those brakes again and hope you have ABS on that 10ae <did you find the modulator?> and into another nameless slowdown quick jog thing-a-ma-jigger-----------------------> gas brake gas into the 90+ (maybe 115*) right and through a long left sweeper, apexing early and sliding your (insert RWD car's name here) across the finish and not into the drink.

If it rains, again, I'm going agnostic.
that is what I thought.
