Exactly what I do with the one caveat being to not carry too much
speed in so that it plows when I put down the power.  Finessing that
is the coolest part because when I do it right, I'm usually at full
boost before corner exit.  I think it's the fastest way through the
corner, but I know it's the most fun, for me.
