River's path is in RED.

River S3W60F30 no scuff out of turns

River started off just to left of the track line, she crossed on to dirt without changing her path. As she neared the first turn she went left toward the turn, I messed up,as I let the line run, the knot caught in my fingers and jerked her just enough to make her pause her tracking. She turned back, looked at me, showed me her side and turned to check to her left(ahead of me), but then coursed to my right. I had shortened up the line and was not quite up to the turn yet. She went behind me and swung out into the track. Didn't care about dirt back to grass. When nearing the next left turn, she hit the transition from grass to dirt and cut the corner as she was on the grass dirt border. She ended up just to the left of the track going into the next left turn, and took it close. On the final right turn, River went through it and turned on the final leg.

Not sure if the no scuff out of turns was a factor. I almost want to say that it didn't make a difference at the turns. Tomorrow I will likely do a stair step track. I am so happy that she persisted in checking around for the track and then pulled me into the track on the first turn.
