Also, something else to consider is Turn 7 (is it turn 7?).  You come up the hill, under the Mazda bridge, make the left (T6?), and then set up for T7, a big right hander.  I find this corner very deceptive - it can be taken waaay faster than I ever do, because it opens up on the exit.  Hit it right, and you'll be passing people going down the hill.

Turn 7 is a VERY fast corner.  
Turns 5 & 6 can bite people really quick.  Especially if you don't know the track.  T5, you're coming down the back hill WFO in 6th, topping out somewhere in the 160-165 range, and you're down to 50-55mph 2nd gear left hander.  Then you fly up the hill, but have to hit the brakes BEFORE you see the turn (t6).  That can throw people off.  

They come over the hill expecting to see the corner and slow down to make it, and by then it's too late...

160-165?  MPH?  Yeah, right.   ;D  On my SV that'd be, what, 90?? :D  (OK, maybe 110).  You big bike guys are nuts. ;D

and you're down to 50-55mph 2nd gear left hander.  

Is it that fast?  Feels like walking speed when I do it (probably is).

Then you fly up the hill, but have to hit the brakes BEFORE you see the turn (t6).  

The AMA guys actually start to tip it in before they've even cleared the top of the hill.   :o  Crazy, man.
