I can get some on kart footage and post it if you want.

I know what you mean! It's pretty nasty in a car and can only imagine how rough it must be in a kart.

Yes, please! I'd like to watch.

I was taught to momentarily straighten the steering when going over brows in a turn. It unloads the tires for a moment until the car settles again on the other side of the brow.

It's a blast to drive! I would strongly recommend it for any track junkie. It's also, IMO, a track that will test your braking skills. It requires several techniques; if you want to be quick

Check out the turn before the spin, turn 11. It's exactly the type of turn where you need to open the wheel as you crest a "brow". It's awesome!

I've only been to Mid Ohio twice, most recently last month. It's such a unique and fun track that on my 7 1/2 hour drive home, which is normally a drag, I found myself smiling, seemingly for hours, as I reflected on the weekend. I can't recall ever doing that before
