Take it personally only if you want!
You know that this conversation started something like a year ago. . .
Which car are you driving, now? You know that it makes a lot of difference in how you view a track. If it's a 1/8th scale, you want it REALLY open so you can open it up. . .
If it's a 1/12th stock on carpet, you can whip that little baby into some really tight corners and whatnot.
But no matter what you're driving, you need to imagine driving the track as you build it. Put the controller in your hand and "drive" the track. . .throttle on here. . .coast and brake here, hard turn, . . . . . .
