I think this may be a matter of horses for courses.  I wasn't nearly flat to 
the floor through the slalom, as I mentioned before I was up to slalom speed 
by the second cone.  And while I agree about the further distance, I think 
it would have been worthwhile.  I was SEVERELY constrained (in my big fat 
car) in how fast I could get through the turn after the slalom by going 
inside the last cone - and that back straight was the second longest one on 
the course.
