At what point on a Sportsman tree do you leave? Right after the last yellow? I never fully understood exactly when you should take off.

I leave at the last yellow. By the time your brain tells your foot what to do, your foot listens to your brain, your car shifts weight, and the suspension loads the green light has already been lit up. :)
