Qualified 2nd..
I agree Fast trumps Line.. But if you can put them both together that is better.
Good job, and I agree both is better. Also keep pedaling is good advice for the track in general, I have seen many riders create more problems by trying to hit the brakes instead of riding up and around something or holding their line. Of course hitting the breaks hard has its advantages too.
