"I have to brake hard before the entry to get through
10 and half the time I'm in the dirt on the exit."

Brake in a straight line as you pick your correct line through the turn.
Then you get on the gas to go through the turn, Power on.
(My whole point concerned power in the turn, not that you go flat out all
the way from Turn 9 into Turn 10.)
In the middle Turn 10 is banked in your favor.
It is off camber at the end of the exit.
It scared me the first time I ever drove it, too. Still does but to a
lesser degree.
The good news is the old Turn 2 is gone. I never had the courage to go
through there flat out. I always feathered the throttle. In a Formula Ford
you were supposed to shift to 4th at the S/F bridge and then stand on it
all the way to the other bridge. The Russell School taught us to tap the
brakes in the old Turn 3 to bring the nose down. But what we all learned
was that if we did it the fast guys moved away from us. So what we had to
do was enter Turn 3 a little higher to get a better line and keep standing
on the gas.
Think Turn 10 is a similar situation for you.
