Ok, here is the secret (well actually it's an old secret) to hauling a$$ through the turns, STP. Yep, that stuff for the motor. Smear a little on the track just before the turns the width of the rear tires, it helps you slow down fast and (heres the secret part) it adds traction to the tires through the remainder of the turn (works best with foam tires). Cleans off the tires and track with naphtha and if the STP is a little too sticky, thin it with a little naphtha first.
