I assume the infield track is the loop on the right half of the infield.

Between 130-135.. I was a little spooked to push it past that going into Nascar 3. Like Willard said.. it's kinda bumpy between Nascar 3&4. Lots of fun though.

Is it just me, or does it look the transition from infield to oval is a giant bump?

BIG Bump.. And my suspension compresses so much that my mudflaps drag.. it can't be good for the car. The trick is to cut the apex tight(Late) and it makes the angle of progression a little bit better.. but not much.

Enough of a bump to make my pass side splash-guard drag the ground... at factory ride height.

Yes..

With the turn from oval to in-field having a radius... and the bottom straight has a "kink" in it.... near the flagger's stand. ie: not a true straight.

You do realize that although your car has a cage in it, it's not 3500 pounds of tubeframe beast around you. Right?

any honda (other than NSX) that's hits more than 135+ on the back straight..............??? very unlikely thing.

and most all of us WILL lift for turn 3 unless you have a slower, lower class car.
