My instructor for that track kept telling me to run over the curbs and rumble strips and use more track. I explained to him this is a street car, and tomorrow I will load it up with luggage and my wife to drive it home to Oklahoma. I have no intention of abusing the suspension to gain half a second when the lap is not even timed. No doubt, going over the limits can be faster or the drivers would not do it. But why have white lines for the track limit if they can just go where they want. Cutting a corner would be faster yet. Where is the limit?

I figure a simple rule would be no more than two tires over the white line. Beyond that, penalty.
One thing that bugs me about abusing track limits is that you are losing the challenge of the track. You gain an advantage when you can go wider onto tarmac, of course drivers are going to do that if they are not penalized.
