Except for one climb to say 2,500' I don't see a downside and even higher for me. Not a lot of thinking time if an issue pops up at 500agl......or a Buzzard. Only if there is less headwind low low and then is a couple mph worth it ?
I have seen races where there was a high/low altitude for every turn. I have not yet found that rule for this race.

Also, I'm pretty sure I posted this in PLANE TALK......hoping to get some Bonanzas going.
If the thread was moved, I'm curious why ? Could be my mistake, I am getting old now.

This really looks like fun.

Is there anyone else with a twin with 280+HP/Side and Turbo Chargers (Class: TWIN1-T), considering going?

I think there is a really really good chance you would be the only one in your class. I believe that's what most will end up with at this race. Just not as popular as it is in other places (Texas) I thought the Friday cookout and the flying sounded like fun. Come on down !

With you being turbo'd you will most likely be the only one in your class...

This race I had 4 in my class. The year before we had 5.

Four Mooney's and zero Bonanza's .....
What the heck ??
