The long course consists of an addition refered to as the “Boot”;

the driver on the long course takes a different, wider line through “The Loop”, following a short downhill straight into the lefthander known as “The Chute” (long course Turn 6); the track levels off somewhat and then enters a long, banked, climbing hairpin called “the Toe of the Boot” (long course Turn 7), and a goes up a steep hill onto a short straight; this is followed by a right hander of slightly more than 90 degrees called “the Heel of the Boot” (long course turn 8). A short straight ensues, followed by a left hander of more than 90 degrees called “the Off Camber” (long course turn 9), which rejoins the short course between short course turns 5 and 6 (long course turns 5 and 10).

if they didn't all pile up on the turn at the bottom of the hill, they prolly would coming back up onto the back straight as it's the only off-camber turn on the track...

just my 2¢
