In a Vee you should be able to take turn 1 flat out. It is really just a
kink. Turn 2 is banked and can be taken faster than you initially think.
For the downhill hairpins of 3 & 4 just stay on the track (many folks go
off here). Try and be smooth and straighten out the corners on the back and
coming up the hill as much as possible. Last time I raced there (about four
years ago) the last turn and front straight were quite bumpy. August should
be pretty much rain free (usually) but you may want to watch out for
volcano activity ;-)

Hi Everyone,
I will be racing a Vee at Seattle in August. (Thank you Bill.)
Does anyone have tips on driving this track? Where are the spots where
I could bend the car? What are the keys to a fast lap? What mystical
chants do I need to keep the rain away?
Thanks for your help.
