Quite odd....

Anyone else feel that way at Bremerton?

Pacific is very slightly uphill from the end of the 1/4 to the first turnout. It then slopes downhill the rest of the way. I almost always get my braking done in time for the first turnout.
At Bremerton, otoh, I often end up going for the second turnout because I do have to brake hard to make the first one.

I now take the last exit, basically the road course back. I remember once I took that exit trying to save my brakes and there was a NASCAR Touring car there practicing on the back half of the track (going back and forth).
He was coming up to flip a U'e and I was heading straight for him as I crested the hill he came into view. It was a little dark and the last thing you expect is a stock car to be headed your direction regardless if he got out of the way. Those things don't have any lights on 'em either.

Hopefully no one has any issues with that oil secreting bump at Pacific.
