Once you have apexed turn 7, you will let the car take itself over to driver’s left, and almost to the rumble strips (which are hard to see in this picture) You will keep the car to the left because turn 8 is a long right hander and just over the crest of the hill. For Solo and DE groups, this is passing zone #3. Stay left and point the faster car by on your right. The Pit entrance is also over the crest of the hill. If you are going into the pits, pull to driver’s right, and raise your hand to signal you are slowing.
	Turn 8 is the long sweeping right hander leading onto the front straight, in some maps it is labeled as turns 8 and 9, but I only consider it one corner. It is critical not only to speed, but safety that you get the right apex for turn 8. The apex is just past the entrance to pit road, and almost to the corner station.
	This is the pit entrance that is just before apex at turn 8. I have included this picture to give you an idea of where the entrance is, and also to give a good shot of the apex, which is at the rumble strips that are just past where the track splits.
	This shot gives a close up view of the end of the apex rumble strips, and you can also see the darker racing line in this shot. Notice that it is a very smooth transition from apex to track-out.
	Finally we are at the track out of the final corner and back on the front straight. The start/finish line is 6-700 feet ahead. This is the most dangerous part of the track. The grass on driver’s left is in soft sand and if you run off, KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. You can see the skid marks on the right from drivers that didn’t. Notice that they end in the wall. There is plenty of grass to get the car slowed down and safely pull back onto the track here. If you get the late apex right for turn 8 however, sliding into the grass is usually a non-issue. For Solo and DE groups this is passing zone #1. Keep left and point the faster car by on your right.
