Track lines on various cars: WAS Delrin or Poly bushings? Worth it?

Maybe its not well written.
You can turn in earlier in a better handling car.  Although its against 
everything that's taught at a DE, because of the POTENTIAL disaster of running out 
of track surface post apex.
(Ealry apex)

Turn 3 at Lime Rock.  Constantly watch and get tucked under by cars that 
handle better where I drift out a bit to make my radius.
Turn 1 at NHIS.  drivers "discovered" they could cut underneath and mainatin 
enough speed to make it work.
Apexing out at turn 5 at the Glen and turning into 6 from the "chute" to the 
laces of the boot.

Think of it this way.
A golf cart at 10 MPH takes which line into a corner?
The entire inside of the turn radius........it IS the fastest/shortest 
distance.  You just cann't drive it at speed in a passenger car or race car. Hence 
the compromise.............

I think you are confusing entry/exit speed with turn-in point.
