Mark,
You are always free to request the scorer review your
flight to insure you were given the optimum score,
this happens frequently when the scoring system doesn't
always use your latest or most advantages start. Your
question about flying all the way from the second turn
area and then back there, just to add a few miles is
little more than mental masturbation, because there
is no way you will be able to improve your speed by
doing that.
