Love That Track!!!!
when masters Nats was there a couple years ago i did my first, and still only, 200m on a 333m Track..
i didn't get to do any full practice runs, so i plotted out my line from the rail and then tried to get as many partial efforts in during warm-up to feel it out.
The wind-up and jump went really well... but i was so used to having to muscle it down through the turns at Encino that i got too low in turn 3-4 and smacked a sponge!
i was sure i was going down as i shot up above the blue line. i decided if i was going down id do it with my foot on the gas! so i just powered through it and somehow i stayed up.
ended up being a PR time and i qualified 2nd!
