Each chicane counts as two corners. I still only come up with 18. Maybe that's the secret. 3 less corners has to be faster. :D

My GPS data logger indicated 2.78 miles consistently. That is the racing line and not the official track distance.

If you look at the track map on the parking permits, camping permits we recieved it also will show 21 turns which are all circled. You might need glasses, it's very small.

This is news breaking. I didn't know you could count that high. Did you do it with your shoes and clothes on? :roflmao:
