Actually the layout I was on had a "hard"-ish 180 at the end of the straight...the sweeper (and MAN what a sweeper it was--FULL THROTTLE) led onto the straight so you had beaucoup speed at the end of that baby.
And I was considerate--all parts "removed" from my car were conveniently distributed under your chair (supposedly WELL off the racing line, though I began to doubt...) where I retreived them after I finished (2nd) my heat.
But yeah, as I think I began to indicate in my reply to Syndrome, the depth perception definitely presents a challenge on enormigous tracks like yours so I recant my admonition. Race on.
