Me too, getting snagged up is much worse on your time.

I have to say, on my first ever buggy race (and the only one so far) There was a layout like you mention where you have to go full speed at the wall, bearing in mind, I had a 5600kv (9t equivalent) brush less in, some strange tyres on, and I still managed to not touch the end wall you are talking about.

its all about control, and not wanting to go flat out into a slippery corner.
