The 2nd double in the middle is the only jump that requires any skill on that track layout. Stay left and land as close to the inside pipe in the off-camber section as you can. The gap is farther between the jump and landing on the right side. You will see people case that jump all day even in 4wd mod. I have no experience with 17.5 but I suspect the thing is to backside the 1st double or land with as much speed as you can so you can clear the 2nd jump. Good luck out there and if you need help with secret gearing still give me a PM. I asked 3 people but I'm waiting for their response.

Thanks. I changed some stuff Larry suggested like shock oil, and used 75/33 and it was night and day better. Best lap was under 22sec. That's a gain of atleast 5 or more seconds. I love going fast so I have my boosted 13.5 and 7.5, but I really like this 17.5. It really makes you a better driver.
